That stretch of road badly needs a sign saying DANGER - SLOW RADIO 
AMATEURS!

Typing "croughton" into Google Earth will take you straight there. You 
can easily see the Y-shaped spreaders for the log-periodics, which have 
mostly wire elements.

Croughton is mainly a satcoms and HF receiving site. The HF transmitting 
site is 8 miles west at "RAF" Barford St John, where you can see more 
Y-boom LPDAs and some ones as well.

A former CO at Barford was KL7WE, a callsign that Dave RGK will 
remember.
