[cma-l] Tallest ever Community Radio Mast?

[Ian Hickling]

I think a seasonal pinch of salt might be wise.I wonder if they have any idea how much these things cost - and how they can be used in a real-life situation?I would have thought we have adequate ways of sending material across the Channel very cheaply already.

Interesting story from Alwyn on the MB21 discussion forum - don't think it's first of April yet...:
http//planning.dover.gov.ukApplication reference 16/00044An application for a 320m high 3m face width mast at Richborough, which it is proposed will host free of charge a community radio station for East Kent.The reason for such largesse? The mast will form part of a shortened microwave path to mainland Europe for high frequency trading.Believe it or not, a second application is on the way from a competitor in this business for a 305m high mast, also at Richborough, also offering free hosting of community radio:http://www.kefmast.co.ukhttp://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/mar/01/high-frequency-traders-turn-rural-kent-into-telecoms-battleground
What a shame there's "no frequencies available".
