  1. Dear Ringway, another great video. Interesting on the wattages used, Few think about a microwave oven at 1000 to 1500 W using a cavity magnetron, which is the basis of RADAR. As for telecom lines of the past, Monkey Puzzle Trees ( araucaria) were used as they grow so straight. These trees evolved when dinosaurs were around, and their spikiness helped to deter predation. I now have one growing in my back garden. It must be an effective deterrent as I am not troubled by dinosaurs. As ever, all the best Phil Sharp.
