The old days were the days of true romance in radio. Today it's just a hand full of SM chips on a board and some cable with automated voices. Blaugh! Boring!

"THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS MARITIME RADIO STATION..."

What kind of emotional shit is this? Don't forget that Brittania hasn't ruled nothing for ages.

Wow, old timey nerds. Cool! Heist them pants up higher!!!!

Came across this video while looking for something else (that;s the internet for you)!

Brilliant. I worked GKB almost on a daily basis while on Niarchos tankers (1973 - 1986). Could QSO from half-way round the world. Excellent station, first class R/Os.

My last ship was the World Recovery/5MRH.

[KD5VSV]

Great job!

I stumbled across this video and really enjoyed it.

[mandrake127]

I worked this station from all over the world between 1970 and 1986. A massive operation.  The final shots of the demolition are very sad.

Nicely done.

[GuyAwoke]

Nice presentation. Worked GKA many times from 91-96 before the big change.

[pcc2425]

Great pictures and music. Quite a few changes since 1948 when I served there before escaping to GLV - FK +

Great video clip. Had many happy memories of GK...portisheadradio, whilst in P and O, GBDK, GRFP GVSN etc...20 years communicating with portishead, and a great shame to see it go. Regards Gordon McKie

The Portishead Radio Station was well known all over the world - sad days for many Posset people when it closed and great to see photos although I was just a young girl at the time. Can anyone remember Brian Goddard who spent a lot of time up at the site and was a real radio ham. His wife would be interested if anyone remembers him. He was a dear friend of my late uncle, Brian Stonestreet.

Always wondered what the place looked like worked GKA many times when I was deep sea R/O wonder what became of all the staff afterwards?
