    I did some army training out of Ramsbottom in 1989 and hiked up past that mast. It was just as cloudy then. I've been meaning to drive up north and see it again. Great video.

    I retired from the Broadcast company in Melbourne that designed and built the Digital TV transmitting antenna panels for this site and other sites in the UK. There is also a lot of other equipment for both DTV and FM that originated Down Under in Melbourne. I worked for RFS for 16 years. Greg
