Knockin Radio Telescope, located at Knockin near Oswestry in Shropshire, England.
Part of MERLIN:
This radio telescope is a key component of the Multi-Element Radio Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN), a powerful array of telescopes managed by the Jodrell Bank Observatory.
MERLIN links several observing stations, including the Knockin telescope, to create a larger, more powerful instrument for astronomical observations.
Planning for the Knockin telescope, as part of the broader array expansion suggested by Henry Proctor Palmer, began in 1973, with construction starting in 1975.

Produced since 1923, the Radio Flyer wagon was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame in 1999 and its creator into the Toy Industry Hall of Fame in 2003. Photo taken at Greenfield Park; West Allis, Wisconsin on October 11, 2015.
A Crosley tube radio I found in my brother's place in Toronto. Thought of Flickr Friday's theme: "Radio Days" ... would have not thought of taking a picture of it otherwise.
Macro Mondays, Radio (Ra), Periodic Table, elements chemical.
Gioco di parole - A word pun
Ho fotografato una radio per richiamare l'omonimo elemento chimico (Il Radio) - I photographed a radio to call the eponymous chemical element (The Radio)
Happy Macro Mondays to all my friends :)

Gebouw A - de Kathedraal.
Radio Kootwijk is een voormalig zenderpark op de Veluwe, ten westen van de plaats Apeldoorn, dat in de eerste helft van de 20ste eeuw een belangrijke communicatieverbinding vormde tussen Nederland en zijn toenmalige koloniën, met name Nederlands-Indië. Het werd gebouwd vanaf 1918. Ook werden er voor werknemers woningen gebouwd, die samen het gelijknamige dorp gingen vormen.
The moor of Lostmarc’h on the Crozon Peninsula provides some breathtaking landscapes and seascapes. When I took this photo, it was a very dark, damp and desolate end of afternoon in December, and I didn't have much hope as I walked the moor towards the lone standing stone that remains of the alignment that once stood there, millennia ago.
I was quite alone, as the weather was truly miserable, but suddenly, a miraculous swath of sunlight cut through the thick clouds and shone over the ocean in the bay, providing a very nice background. I quickly set up an off–camera cobra flash on the ground to provide some fill–in light on the stone face, and took the shot.
Thirty seconds thereafter, as on a well–set timer, the clouds closed in again and the light was gone. It began to rain (again), and I could but walk back to the car.
This is a recent black-and-white interpretation of the original photo. I will also, some day, upload the color one taken in December 2018.

SAS Radio Operator - from the Action Force series of figures. SAS Force did not have their own Op so I borrowed a Z-Force operator backpack and gave him a new M-16 from my bits box.
Gebouw A (zendgebouw) (1920-1922)
Architect: Julius Luthmann (1890-1973)
Rijksmonument 46517
Gebouw A is het hoofdgebouw van het zenderpark Radio Kootwijk bij het dorp Radio Kootwijk. Het geheel uit beton opgetrokken gebouw is een rijksmonument.
De architect, Julius Luthmann, baseerde het ontwerp vooral op het Großfunkstation van Telefunken bij Nauen, waaraan hij een aantal bezoeken bracht. Daarnaast liet hij zich inspireren door het beeld van een sfinx. De vorm van dit mythische wezen is erin te herkennen, met name vanuit de lucht. De bekendste bijnaam van het gebouw is 'de Kathedraal'; meermaals is een vergelijking gemaakt met de Grote Kerk van Veere.
Het gebouw in art-deco-stijl, met sculpturen van beeldhouwer Hendrik van den Eijnde, is een mengvorm van de Berlijnse en de Amsterdamse School met Scandinavische invloeden (Luthmann was onder meer sterk beïnvloed door de Finse architect Eliel Saarinen). Gebouw A spreekt tot de verbeelding van artiesten, kunstenaars en theatergezelschappen. Sinds 2005 is Staatsbosbeheer de eigenaar van het gebouw onder de merknaam 'Hier Radio Kootwijk' en wordt het verhuurd als evenementen- en vergaderlocatie. (Wikipedia)
Radio transmission station Radio Kootwijk.
At the start of the twentieth century, the Netherlands was a trading nation with extensive overseas territories. Its interests were served by a quick connection to the colonies, especially the Dutch East Indies. Direct communication took place by way of electric telegrams, which required cable connections. Prior to this, the Netherlands was dependent on England and Germany. When the First World War broke out the disadvantages of this dependence increased. In 1918, the government decided to realise their own international communication network, independent of the neighbouring countries. After much political debate it was decided to build a long wave transmission station enabling permanent contact with the Dutch East Indies using radio telegraphs.
To establish the radio transmitting station they looked for an uninhabited, remote terrain so there would be minimum interference to the transmission traffic from the environment. The 450 hectare terrain was bought by the Dutch Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management from the Dutch National Forestry Commission.
The exceptional and unique result of the main building, called Building A, is derived from the interplay between necessity and the sources of inspiration. The building could, for example, not be built in wood because of the fire hazard of overheating due to radiation from the transmitters. Thus they chose concrete, which was a little known building material at the time. The building’s design was inspired by the transmission station in Naun Germany, a design by Herman Muthesius.
Architect Julius Maria Luthmann (1890-1973) worked for the Dutch Government Building Agency. Luthmanns' interest in Egyptian architecture explains the building’s appearance as a sort of sphinx. As well as characteristics typical of German Expressionism, the building had unmistakable elements of the Amsterdam School style. In this popular building style from the twenties, various artists often collaborated in decorating the buildings. Above the entrance door you can see a relief depicting a mask with an open mouth through which radio waves exit, flanked by two female figures listening, a European and an Eastern women, symbolising the connection between the East and West. The rear is adorned by a large arched window topped with an eagle.The eagle symbolises the freedom of the radio waves in the air, the flight of sound. Both reliefs are designs by Hendrik van den Eijnde, sculptor, furniture designer, graphic artist and illustrator.

This is my newest heavy metal radio. It was found at the New England Vintage Electronics Club Flea Market in NH. I checked it out today and it works great! The radio receives from 0.54 megacycles to 18.6 megacycles. It was manufactured in August of 1945. The only modifications I notice are the attachment for the power cord and the replacement of the original antenna connector with a modern SO239. It is an AC/DC radio with no power transformer and all 12 tubes in series. The construction is awesome, as expected of Scott. This LRM (Low Radiation Model) is heavily shielded so that the signal put out by the local oscillator cannot be detected by enemy submarines.
Took some pictures of my sweet android girls today and I also made a little video while I took these photos.
