We are back on Tuesday with our next talk in what has been a fantastic season. Larry Bennett will be at Blake Museum to talk about the Bridgwater Wireless Station and others in the area.

Larry will also be divulging details on the Chedzoy Experimental Radiotelephone Station, the receiving stations at Somerton and Highbridge, and the large transmitting site at Portishead, exploring Somerset’s pioneering role in the development of long-distance radio communication.

It promises to be a fascinating evening and we are anticipating another high turnout. We would love to see you there.
