Back in 2015 I made an installation for the world heritage site in , so I found it very interesting to see similar tech used to teach visitors about the workings of the Station.

It's a world heritage site on account of being the last operational long range mechanical radio transmitter, its design pre-dating vacuum tubes! It transmits using a big spinning alternator wheel to generate a 17.2kHz signal which can reach New York and beyond
