GB75CH Great Baddow Chain Home Mast

75 years ago on February 26, 1935, a simple experiment in a field near Daventry conclusively demonstrated that aircraft could be detected by radio.

Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society (CARS) members will be among those operating GB75CH from the Chain Home mast at Great Baddow to commemorate the event.

Following the successful Daventry Experiment, Sir Robert Watson-Watt and his team at Bawdsey developed the vital Chain Home radar system.

The event is set to be marked by a trio of Special Event stations on February 26.
