Tour of former BBC Far Eastern Relay Station

On 15 September 2023 members of Singapore Amateur Radio Transmitting Society were given a tour of the facilities built for the BBC World Service in Singapore which closed in July 2023. Thank you to our hosts at Encompass, who now run the site, to James 9V1YC for organizing the tour, and to Kevin 9V1KT for the video. Hugh 9V1SA posted many of the photos taken by our members in a Wikipedia article about the site.
