How do they change the bulb? Simple, disconnect all the cables, unbolt the tower from the pedestal, tip it over with a crane, unscrew the bulb, then reverse the process. Easy peasy. I should add that this only works on older towers. Newer towers, when the light burns out you just throw the tower away and buy a new one.

Are those crows nests made out of wood?!?! Holly mother of god! I can't begin to tell you how unsafe that tower is. I worked for many years in my youth as a cell site technician where I climbed towers (anywhere from 60ft up to 320ft, free standing or monopole / lattice tower). I've been on mountaintops where the wind would gust to hurricane strengths or in places where ice had formed on the climbing surfaces and I used a rubber mallet to free it so I could continue to climb. Anyways climbing these towers is already super dangerous and that's before you're asked to climb one made out of wood. How could you ever trust the wood to hold your safety line in the event you fell, subjecting the beam to highly dynamic kinetic forces.

Powering down the sites was a struggle because you were never sure if the operator at the NOC had done it or they got the right unit. Never liked turning the power off, just in case the dam thing never came back up again.

​@@nikf3188 I agree that the self amalgamating tape is a LOT easier to work with but do wonder about the longevity. Back in the '70s I was involved in some work in the train shed at Kings Cross station. It involved removing the catenary wires that held PA speakers above the platforms - thoughts were that the installation had been in place probably before the end of the war. One of the construction crew called me over after removing the Denso (or whatever the older equivalent was) from some of the shackles . Underneath it was still bright galvanised wire - after years of exposure to steam, soot, diesel fumes etc. Later in my career I was involved in antenna installations along the railway in Australia - the riggers used self amalgamating tape overwrapped with UV stable insulation tape - within 6 months the cockatoos had feasted on it all leaving all the joints exposed! Replacement with Denso discouraged the cockatoos - I guess it did not taste that good!

Of Note, Chelton and Cobham are one and the same. So those antennas you mention are pribably identical in every way apart from the data plate branding. Chelton was bought as part of the "FR Group" which was born out of Flight Refuelling Ltd, this was then branded as "Cobham Group" with all of its constituent companies keeping their original names. Eventually, in the 2010s Cobham group decided that all of its companies should be under one brand, "Cobham" with a subtitle to each company. The group was then bought by a US venture capital firm and broken up, with "Cobham Amtennas and systems" being the last company to keep the "Cobham" Name. Which I think is now Thales instead. A very confusing timeline of company names, made even more complicated by the breaking up of Cobham. Sir Alan Cobham, who founded Flight Refuelling Limited was an aviation pioneer and strong leader.

I was out here in 2013 and recognised the old mast as similar to one that was on Snaefell Isle of Man in the 1980’s. I just know was a CAA now Nats tower. In a more recent visit to the area I noticed the mast had changed shape! clearly a new build. I’m actually staying close by in Tarvin for the next month due to work. Can anyone shed anymore light on the former Kelsall TX tower? Tia.

@@RingwayManchesteryeah the tower I'm referring to is in a state park but it's also on the edge of the park and it's the County tower, 911 and County communications. So I feel it falls under the same in the visible spectrum being that there's only a gate across the road and a fence around the building and tower. I did some work up there for somebody who how should I put this unpolitely gave himself more permissions than he had and got kicked off because he's a "ham radio operator and can do whatever he wants" which includes not making things tidy or informing people that Group was putting an NVIS antenna up there within the fence and if it just shows up it'll stay right.... wrong. Yeah the UK seems a little bit more forgiving about things it's sad in a way how things are going in the US right now, Then again it might just be this town. I was up there on a windy day as there were three of us in the group that were working on cleaning up the place over various days and one of the prospects was to take down some old antennas eventually and in exchange after that was done the group might have access to the tower more than just reusing an antenna for a 2m repeater. And then apparently the county had an inspector go up there and things got complicated.

Hmm you went into a lot of detail as to what those antennas are on the Tx site, so maybe not, but I'd expect there to be ADSB antennas somewhere.

There isn't much in the way of commercial ADS-B receiving at the moment, only on some military sites. Civil ATC mostly still use Secondary Surveillance Radar with Mode S.

Always interesting. I'd like to know more about those "stubby" vertical antennas. Things like do they have a broad bandwidth. That's the only reason I can think of for being so 'fat'. 🤔👍🏽🇦🇺

Hello, would it be possible in a future video to talk about smartwater in a little more detail? You spoke about it having to do something with UV light in an older video but i'm still confused as to what it does/is. Have a wonderful day !

The smartwater has a unique code or post-code spec in it that sticks to the body for at least a week. It is difficult to wash off. This is evidence that you have been on site, it shows up in UV light in a darkened room and you better have a good alibi!

Great video as always, though could I ask when you say 'Police Airwave', is this different to the Airwave I use in my ambulance job? AFAIK it was supposed to be one network for interoperability after 7/7? Cheers
