Worth keeping an eye on this bloke for a bit.

I can't believe he just wandered in and they gave it to him! The
teardown should be interesting when it comes though.

Cheers,

Colin.

It's really strange when you've spent years thinking you're the only
one, then find out there are others just like you.

As he said what else could they do with it?

Would probably cost them to have a scrappy take it away and would be
more trouble than it is worth to dismantle and reuse any bits that were
suitable.

Have seen him do a few tear-downs probably the first one was a bank's
hard drive. Something like quarter of a million quid and 2 Gig.

I tried to get hold of a souvenir UHF EMI-slot, when Arqiva dumped
Hannington's old GRP aerial cylinder in a field next to the mast as part of
DSO work. Didn't manage to, all I was allowed to do was photograph it, through
the security fence.

Yes, I remember that one, I also remember how annoying his squeaky
rising intonation is ...

Still no teardown but there's a nice tour of the analogue gear at the TX
site now, if you have an hour to spare...
