KRANJI, SINGAPORE, THE TOWERS OF THE BBC, PICS BY JAISAKTHIVEL THANGAVEL

Recently I have a chance to visit the BBC Far Eastern Relay Station in Kranji, Singapore. The 4 acre BBC property at Kranji is very compact, with 10 transmitters and 22 antenna systems. Merlin Communications took over the operation of the BBC Far Eastern Relay Station in Singapore. Merlin subsequently became VT Merlin, and then VT Communications, and then this organization was taken over as Babcock, Encompass. These days, there are officially 10 transmitters located in the BB...C shortwave station at Kranji, 5 at 100 kW and 5 at 250 kW. (J.T.)
