There used to be an establishment just off the A30 road on Bodmin Moor, in Cornwall, with a sign saying it was a BT (British Telecom) Marine Radio Station. In my years at sea I never heard it mentioned. Since the A30 has been re-routed in this area it is no longer visible. Would this have been part of the Portishead set-up?

Noddy,

It was part of the BT but it had nothing to do with GKA. I think or I am sure it had a more military use.
