    Arrow Kelty ROC Post - (Fife Group) - May 2011

    closed in 91 this post is now inside an o2 transmiter site,
    post opens with a scottish T bar and is dry inside although the sump is just about overspilling and the pump is seazed.

    i was desperate to get a look in this one and have been keeping an eye on it for sometime.
    yesterday my paitience finaly paid off, mr o2 engineer was in the compound so a quick explanation of what the place was and oh voila, turns out the guy from o2 likes this sort of thing.

    loads of paper work and quit a few other items of interest but sadly no comms or metering equipment.

    dome on the vent sugests a master station.

    on a side note i did find evidence that a local radio amateur had been using the place in the form of a qsl card with his name and address on it, so i may approach him and see if he can comment on the condition when he was there last.

    Always like seeing the Scottish posts
    The only thing to do with good advice is pass it on. It is never any use to oneself.

    the mast has long since gone im afraid, just the retaining clamps on the wall where it should be stowed, i would love to find out who now owns the post and maybe find out about restoring it. or atleast get it protected with new locks as it is one of the better ones in fife.

    Probably a good chance it is O2 or if they rent the site then they will know who they rent it from.
