Now owned by Merlin Communications (and formerly Vosper Thornicroft). Runs shortwave transmission services for BBC World Service, Voice of America and other 'global' radio brands. Contains six 250kW and four 300kW transmitters.
The use of shortwave was traditionally for reaching long distances and broadcasting over the Iron Curtain into Communist Russia, Poland and other Eastern European countries.
Now many of the citizens of those former Communist countries work nearby picking strawberries and other fruit in Herefordshire.
