The business end of a mobile phone transmitter. This equipment rack (switches at the top, batteries at the bottom) handles all calls and data travelling between the wired phone network and the transmitters.
This unit just happens to be located next to the school's internet equipment rack up at the TV tower; a very noisy place to be.

Ringmer Football Club is a football club based in Ringmer, near Lewes, East Sussex, England. They are currently members of the Southern Combination Division One and play at the Caburn Ground.
History[edit]
Ringmer Football Club was established in 1905 and they initially joined the Lewes and District League.[1] After being disbanded during World War One, they continued in local football and achieved their first trophy in 1926 when they lifted the Sussex Junior Cup. In 1951, Ringmer joined the Brighton & Hove District League and began to climb up the divisions, until, in 1963, Ringmer was accepted into the Sussex County League. Within three seasons, the Blues had sealed third spot in Division Two and in 1967 they also lifted the Division Two Invitation Cup. The club won Division Two in 1968–69 and gained promotion to Division One. In the 1970–71 season, Ringmer became champions of Division One for the first and so far only time, and also reached the First Round of the FA Cup, where as the first ever village side to reach the First Round, they lost 3-0 away to Colchester United F.C.. In the 1972-13 season, the side finished runners up in Division One, while also winning the Sussex Senior Cup for the first time in their history.
In 1986, Ringmer were relegated back to Division Two, but returned to Division One in 1989 after finishing runners-up. The club has since finished runners-up in Division One twice, 2001–02 and 2005–06.[2] In the 2008-09 season, however, the club was plunged into administration after Chairman Richard Soan resigned, but, under the management of Bob Munnery, the unpaid squad was able to make up an imposed deduction of ten points to finish 10th.
After their recovery from administration, the club saw a series of similar mid-table finishes over the next few years. In the 2014-15 season though, they finished 18th in the Sussex County League Division One, and were relegated to Division Two, renamed the Southern Combination Football League Division One from the 2015–16 season.

Recent research by the Airfield Research group has revealed that building was nicknamed "Dragon Mountain" by base personnel, Not the often quoted "Magic Mountain" . The first reference to Magic Mountain is in the research notes for the listing of the Building and is in error. The Dragon Mountain name makes more sense as the U2/TR-1 aircraft are nicknamed "The Dragon Lady" and personnel with the 17th RW called themselves "Dragon Keepers"
"The Avionics building, constructed c. 1989 by US Air Force, is a two storey, partly sunken reinforced concrete bunker, rectangular in plan. The building accommodates a drive-through access roadway and is capped with a rough concrete buster cap designed to absorb the impact of a missile before penetrating the bunker's roof.
INTERIOR: The purpose of the avionics building was to service the electronic components of reconnaissance aircraft and process the data retrieved. The interior of the building housed life support systems, stainless steel decontamination rooms, electronics workshops, photographic dark rooms, handling and storage areas. It is protected internally by subterranean 'portcullis' type blast doors on a hydraulic release mechanism. By the main doors are a suite of decontamination rooms and male and female toilets. An internal vehicular decontamination facility is also present. Large rooms on the lower floor housed the computers (now removed) where the data was downloaded and analysed. One of these rooms has a painted motto 'Aircrews live by the knowledge, skill, awareness and integrity of their maintenance people' over the door. A unique feature is the system for maintaining air pressure in the case of attack, by the use of compressed air cylinders on the lower floor, still present. All fixtures and fittings apart from the air cylinders and generators, floor surfaces, wall panelling and doors have been removed.
HISTORY: Land for an airfield at Alconbury was first acquired in 1938 as a satellite landing ground for RAF Upwood and when war broke out, the base was used by Blenheims from RAF Wyton. As part of the US 8th Air Force, it fulfilled a variety of roles until being handed back to the RAF in November 1945. In June 1953, the base was reactivated for the US 3rd Air Force and from 1959, Alconbury assumed its principal Cold War role as the home to various reconnaissance squadrons. In 1983, U2/TR-1 spy planes were permanently based at Alconbury, resulting in the construction of a number of hardened structures including the Avionics building and a number of Hardened Aircraft Shelters which have group value. Following the cessation of the Cold War, flying ceased in March 1995 and the base was released for disposal.

SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE: The hardened Avionics building at Alconbury airfield was constructed by the US Air Force in 1989. It is a very rare surviving example of this building type, and along with other buildings from this period, represents the physical manifestation of the global division between capitalism and communism that shaped the history of the late 20th century. The Avionics building is unique amongst the few such buildings in England, because of its size, form and internal survival of the vehicular decontamination unit and compressed air re-pressurising system. It is uniquely associated with the U2/TR1 aircraft, stationed only at Alconbury. As one of the last Cold War structures built in the country, it is the most sophisticated hardened structure remaining and as such has very special architectural and historic interest.

Family and friends gather at the submarine piers on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam to welcome back the Los Angeles-class attack submarine USS Jacksonville (SSN 699) as she returns from completing a deployment to the Western Pacific and Arabian Gulf, June 18.

The abandoned Base Supply at Crows Landing, California. The Naval Auxiliary Air Station (NAAS) Crows Landing was commissioned in 1942 as an auxiliary air field to Naval Air Station (NAS) Alameda and used for pilot training.
Crows Landing was decommissioned on July 6, 1946, and the site became an Outlying Land Field (OLF) to NAS Alameda and later NAS Moffett Field. The site remained active throughout the 1980s and was closed in 1991.
This is likely one of my favorite shots of the week. At the base of the falls, the water just outlined the rocks in the foreground perfectly.
