The exhibits are quite incredible featuring enormous engines restored to full working order and running! Exhibits including a 3 mega watt power station driven by a jet engine and donated by Rolls Royce in Bristol.<\/p>\n<p>The radio Station is set up in a wooden Shack surrounded by Antennas put up by the local amateur radio community and I was invited by Lloyd (2W0LLT) to operate the Rohde &amp; Schwarz <a title=\"XK2100L\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rohde-schwarz.com\/en\/product\/xk2100l-productstartpage_63493-9039.html\" target=\"_blank\">XK2100L<\/a>; after some time listening on the 40m band we achieved a QSO with G0VTG near London.
