The RN DF station at Sheigra.

Sheigra is now on Canmore, I was trying to remember where I had seen a reference to a PO station there and found it was me that had originally found the reference in RAF Signals 1939-1945

GPO Transmitters

At the outbreak of war, the following GPO medium or long wave WT transmissions were put under the control of Fighter Command –

Leafield, Rugby, Portishead, Cullercoats, Humber, Lands End. Niton, North Foreland, Portpatrick, Caernarvon, Ongar, Parkeston Quay, Stonehaven, Seaforth, Wick, Sheigra, Callon Head, Tiree, Sanday and North Ronaldsway.

This was a way of closing them down rather than taking over the transmitters.

25 Years Ago

Blairmore is same area as Sheigra.

I wonder if locals had heard comments about the DF station tracking or locating ships, U-Boats or aircraft and presuming that it was radar?
