Youtube comments of Phil Sharp (@philsharp758).

  1. Pride is one of the seven deadly sins.
    2000
  2. Dear Ringway, all these videos about the intelligence community, please reassure us that you are not considering self-harm, are not accident prone and that you are a careful driver. All the best.

  3. I take it that this lady doesn't have a toy for when she doesn't have a boyfriend? Otherwise she is a hypocrite.
    142
  4. Modern pirates do not say "Hey, ho me hearties". They say "We see your car warranty is due to expire"
    132
  5. John, I appreciate the effort you make to find these clips, so we don't have to watch them in their entirety.
    125
  6. I find it odd that visiting Auschwitz was not done with some privacy and decorum such as the laying of a wreath, rather than swanningaround for a photo-op like you were at Disneyland.
    121
  7. Oh well. Back to number stations and carrier pigeons then.
    115
  8. The squeaky wheel is reduced because the poor hamster is getting tired. ;-)
    106
  9. Damaging an Ancient Monument. punishment is a max two years. But they may have forgotten add religous hatred. Druidism is recognised as a religon in the UK. That should make it ten years in prison at least.
    99
  10. I listened several times, at 350 % speed and 400 % speed, having spliced the clip back to back with a clove hitch and using 1. 2566 MHZ. I keep geeting this subliminal message " Eat pizza and drink beer." Gosh these guys are clever.
    69
  11. Excellent stuff Ringway. I would be more surprised if the Government was not spying on us. Pity the poor soul given the task of bugging me. Me being a grumpy old codger they would become bored witless, especially when I include my ongoing health issues. By the way just noticed you now have 121K subscribers. Keep up the good work.
    60
  12. This has been a thoroughly engrossing series. Thank you Ringway for the time and effort you took to make it. I feel that the story would make a great low-budget movie, Bill Forsyth style ( "That Sinking Feeling", " Local Hero", "Gregory's Girl"). All the best. PS
    60
  13. It assumes that sections of the Army won't mutiny against such orders.
    49
  14. Remember what happened last time someone believed in a Divine Right to rule.
    44
  15. I don't know why but I just find numbers stations strangely compelling. Ringway as an aside you could consider a niche calendar ( like the roundabouts, bus shelters type) of radio masts and aerials for sale near Christmas later this year. As ever all the best.
    43
  16. I like the contrast in messaging between the postbox and the antennae. About 170 years ago people were asking what are these red cylinders with a slot in appearing on my street for? Although the first postboxes were painted green. They changed the colour to red because too many people were bumping into them. And congratulations on a well deserved 100k subscribers.
    42
  17. Sitting on glacial till, mudstone and siltstone. I am amazed this embankment has lasted this long. Great video.
    37
  18. The slice of lime in the cocktail is an excellent comment.
    32
  19. Along with damage to an Ancient Monument and the rare lichens, it is also a religous hate crime. Druidism has been a recognised religion in the UK since 2010. A defacement of Stonehehnge is akin to defacing a church, syangogue, mosque or temple.
    31
  20. They were Havana laugh. A rum affair indeed. But definitely no cigar.
    30
  21. Thanks for this Ringway. The transmitting hall was a design icon of 1930's Art Deco. I wonder how noisy it was. And getting rid of long wave is a huge mistake.
    27
  22. Dear Ringway, great stuff as always. I am of an age when the ionosphere was known as the Kennelly-Heaviside layer. Oliver Heaviside is a neglected figure in electrical communications and his contributions are on a par with with James Clerk Maxwell. I have a biography of Heaviside by Paul Nahin, which I will admit was a hard slog to get through. I have enjoyed this series on the varied intercept and transmissions sites. All the best Phil Sharp.
    27
  23. Rorkes Drift 2024.
    27
  24. Gosh! I hope the RingwayManchester Props Department didn't overspend on their budget. As for four inches long and hardly detectable.. the story of my life. :-( Now, for some reason I really fancy a Picnic Bar.
    26
  25. Beautifully presented and very moving. I know things change, but I don't know what is more poignant. The places that are abandoned or places that are built and developed beyond recognition. Thanks for posting.
    22
  26. How many of those who advocate open borders lock their doors and windows at night? If so why?
    22
  27. Dear Ringway, you are not a nerd. You are a man with specialist knowledge willing to learn and exchange information. Ignore the pedantic trolls. And sorry if I sound too sycophantic , but 129K people agree with me. Keep up the good work. And if these binoculars are commercialy available, Lord knows what the military have. As ever all the best Phil Sharp

  28. Dear Ringway, thanks for this informative video and important as a chronicle of the demise of analogue transmission in the UK. As an aside the Start Point lighthouse was used as a location for "The Avengers " TV series for the episode "All Done With Mirrors."
    19
  29. Berry Head lighthouse is the highest, deepest and shortest lighthouse in England. Highest due to its elevation above the cliff, deepest as there is a 30 foot deep pit which used to house the clockwork and shortest as the light is 6 feet above the ground level. If you have been visiting the South West will there be an episode about the Lizard and Goonhilly Down? Great video as always.
    19
  30. Underestimating demand is not new. Mercedez Benz estimated ( circa 1900 ) that the total market for cars in the Uk was about 7,000 as this was the number of households that could afford a chauffeur. Thanks again for a well researched and informative video. Have a Merry Christmas Ringway All the best Phil Sharp

  32. Another fine video, Ringway. I did think a more effective way of jamming would be to re-broadcast one or two older messages over the current one being sent, so that the numbers are jumbled but with the same voice. And listening to it reminded me of the days of the football results being read out for the pools. ( You know I am old) As ever all the best.
    17
  33. And it provides nesting material for the birds.
    17
  34. What I find fascinating is that a low power transmitter ( 25 watts) can be recieved and listened to. Considering that a microwave oven is rated from 700 watts and upwards. A microwave oven uses a cavity magnetron, means that you could build a workable radar. That radio waves are a form of light, being part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and can be directed , to me , is still mind-blowing. Keep up the good work.
    16
  35. I rememeber a cartoon ( I wish I had a copy of it) which had President Clinton in a department store with a package marked " Restrictive Legislation". The shop assistant is asking " How would you like it wrapped? Protecting the children or preventing terrorism?"
    15
  36. What sane male would commit to starting a family with an English woman, when on a whim she can disown him, take the the house and the children and may him pay child support for years and go after his pension? I did and I will regret it until my dying day.
    15
  37. The most telling images so far are in Northern Ireland where the Union Jack and the Tricolour are flying alongside each other.
    14
  38. Your intro " Nobody knows what they do definitively, especially when it comes to their content." For a moment I thought you were talking about BBC Radio One. As ever all the best , and thanks for another great video.
    14
  39. I think it is illegal to publish the name of an arestee prior to being them being presented in court and charged with an offence. Once charged in an open court, then it becomes a matter of public record.
    13
  40. Dear Ringway. I will come clean and say that what of what you talk about is way over my head. I remember a little from A Level physics. But I find your videos as professionally produced both compelling and fascinating. Please keep on posting. All the best
    13
  41. Well, old boy, that was absoloutely spiffing.
    12
  42. Excellent stuff as ever. Maybe you could cover two lesser known actions of WW2. The heroic fight of HMS Li Wo ( similar to HMS Glowworm;s epic story) and the RAF sinking of the SS Cap Arcona which killed over 5,000 concentration camp prisoners. As always, keep up the sterling work.
    12
  43. Dear Ringway. Congratulations on a well deserved 100 k subscribers.
    12
  44. Dear Ringway. Another great video. Forget those carping, pedantic critics. Your videos are quality. As an aside I do hope that all modern listening stations have fountains in the grounds. Something to relieve the monotony of listening to radio broadcasts.
    12
  45. Thanks Ringway for another entertaining video. What a stunning Art Deco building. It always fascinates me what is in the non-descript buildings next to radio towers. I know it will be power supplies, radio transmitters etc. But is still intrigues me.
    11
  46. That's reassuring. Though do avoid any grassy knolls you come across. :-) @RingwayManchester 
    11
  47. If you ask me, the image at 1:09 shows an unpheasant plucker.
    10
  48. Well, that is pretty chilling. And, if you do listen and hear important news you have to keep it to youself for fear of being denounced or informed on.
    10
  49. To break the slog from August to Christmas, a Bank Holiday in October would be nice. How about 21st October? Trafalgar Day.
    10
  50. Dear Ringway, I find these videos fascinating, and I am always tantalised by what is in the ancillary buidings. For some reason the thought of machinery and electrics operating without constant human attention intrigues me. As shown by your video on the red light on a railway track that leads nowhere. And seems to call to mind the song by Del Amitri, " Nothing Ever Happens". As ever all the best.

  51. Great stuff as always. The Black Death effectively ended the feudal system in England. Why suffer a Lord of the Manor when the Lord in the next village was offering better wages and conditions due to labour shortages. The ruling classes of England never forgot this and have used varied means to contain the peasantry ever since.
    9
  52. Another fascinating episode. The M62 used one of the runways as its route when it was built. Next time I am in the area I will try and get to the museum. Just sent £ 2 via Paypal. All the best.
    9
  53. And produce your Police ID.
    8
  54. It was almost mandatory to have a copy. Along with Led Zep Vol 4. :-)
    8
  55. Thank you so much for posting. It was G. K. Chesterton who wrote “When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything.” And some of us keep the light of faith burning so that society can return to a god-fearing time. God bless you, Philip

  56. And yet you cannot get a tattoo until you are 18 due to the permenancy of the treatment.

  57.  @andymanaus1077  So just like being married ;-)
    8
  58. That is classified information.
    8
  59. Dear Ringway. Great presentation as always. The aerial array reminds me a bit of the "Cobra Mist " over-the-horizon radar constructed at Orford Ness in the late 1960's. An aside. an apcoraphyl story I read once, was that microwave cooking was not discovered by Percy Spencer of Rayethon in 1946. During the early operation of the "Chain Home" radar, the operaters found lots of dead seagulls around the towers. When they picked them up the birds were still warm. They concluded that the gulls had been microwave cooked by the early cavity magnetrons.
    7
  60. You are right. the vegetation needs removal. The common bricks are laid garden wall bond. The white bricks look like they were sourced from Devon where the china clay waste was converted into bricks. I can assure you that those bricks are as hard as steel, being ceramic.
    7
  61. Ringway. Great topic as always. Meanwhile in Havana "We want you to be the host of a radio station" "Great. Do I get to play rumba, bossa nova and mambo?" "No. You just read numbers." "Bummer. :-( "
    7
  62. And a llama.
    7
  63. If nothing else, you have to admire the designers and construction engineers for building this. Failure to deliver was not tolerated in the USSR. And even success could not save you from a purge, especially in Stalins time.
    7
  64. Thanks for posting. I love these types of anachronisms. Great drone work as well.
    7
  65. Excellent as ever Ringway. Of greater interest is who will get to 100k subscribers first? You or Autoshenanigans? Either way you both deserve the following you have built up.
    7
  66. Another great episode on number stations. I only suggested the aerial calendar as you seem to have a good eye for photogenic scenery. The female voice for the " Lincolnshire Poacher" sounds like one on the previous "speaking clock" announcers, and even the Tube announcements. Just waiting for a "Mind the Gap" in the transmission. As for oblique, it is known that when a woman is silent, it is not a harbringer of good news. "You're quiet. What is wrong." "Everything." :-)
    7
  67. You are a good woman and partner who knows that value of frugality.
    7
  68. Dear Ringway, absoloutely love this episode. Please can you tell me the source of the call signs from 1:13 to 1:20 . I suffer from insomnia and a way to pass the time would be to look up these addresses on Google Earth. I typed in Tingey (2LW) and was directed to a copy of "The Wireless World " January 7th 1922. It has some great adverts and even a letter of complaint about a radio station broadcasting without using its call sign. And why did L Johnson of "Park View", Hinde House Lane need three call signs? As ever a facinating and informative video. Thank you Phil Sharp
    6
  69. Is that 12:00 GMT or BST?
    6
  70. Intriguing stuff, Ringway. As embassies are immune from prosecution, do they sometimes infringe non-authorised frequencies? As ever, all the best.
    6
  71. Mr Kipling is exceedingly displeased.;-)
    6
  72. We have them up North, you know.
    6
  73. The happy halcyon days before 2001. Thanks for posting.
    5
  74. I just watched the speech and i quote " charges will follow, and convictions will follow." He missed the bit about "and if found guilty". Those who loot and attack others rightly deserve prison. But others who have only protested should opt for trial by jury. A jury of their peers. As required by English Law. No Diplock courts in England.
    5
  75. Buy me more coffees ?
    5
  76. So if there is no commercial interest in these AM frequencies then the authorities will allow ham radio and "pirate" stations to use these frequencies , right? Right??
    5
  77. Or maybe they want you to think it is a pirate station. I am most disappointed that there was no Hawaian steel guitar. And Lord forbid that you should be targeted for elimination. Continue to avoid open windows and grassy knolls. That Autoshenanigans guy will stop at nothing to get to 200k viewers first.🙂 As ever best wishes.
    5
  78. This comment deserves pun-ishment.
    4
  79. I grew up in the North of England and would carve what we called "turnips". These days they are called swedes and turnips are much smaller whitish root vegetables. The other Halloween traditions in the North were apple-bobbing, either from apples held on a string or trying to eat apples bobbing in a bowl of water.
    4
  80. Wot! No amiable guy in a beanie hat wittering on about the M60? And I agree with Shayne Jones comment below, about the plethora of local IBA stations of the 1970's and 1980's with a bit of local variety. I hope if I tell you my local station was 194 Radio City, you won't block my comments. ;-)
    4
  81. Great stuff as always. I have now been inspired to get a couple of library books out on amateur radio to undertsand the technicalities. As for your carping critics, ignore them. You produce quality content, they produce nothing but venemous hot air.
    4
  82. Bacon wrapped in bacon. Classic !
    4
  83. What about “Skippy the Bush Kangaroo “?
    4
  84. That is an interesting coincidence. As the Moon is moving away from the Earth total eclipses will be a thing of the past.
    4
  85. To get to Paris, did the PM use Eurostar or have a private jet?
    4
  86. Failing to put two and two together. Story of my life :-( . But I counter with "I make it up as I go along" per Frank Muir from the "Fruit and Nut" advert. (Before your time Ringway). And they are not polygons (2 dimensional figures) but polyhedra. Tsk! What do they teach at schools these days? All tongue in cheek, thanks for another informative video. All the best.
    4
  87. I am missing the castles already. Well done on pronouncing Fazakerley correctly.
    4
  88.  @peterstean2138  A dour, middle-aged, pedantic state apparatchik, I was auditioning for the role. Hey, I'll even grow the sideburns. :-)

  89. One of Margaret Thatchers biggest mistakes was to close mental asylums for "care in the community". and no government since has reversed this policy. But I fail to see how having the compos mentis to carry a stabbing implement with intent to injure can be written off as mental illness. There is definite malice aforthought which means a crime of killing people is not manslaughter but murder.
    4
  90. And there was me thinking the question you get asked nearly every day is "How does it feel to be so blessed with good looks, an encyclopaedic knowledge of radio and talents extending to drone flying and video production?" Must be the second most question posed to you. :-)
    3
  91. I'm with the Democratic Peoples Federation for the Liberation of South Korea. The Revolutionary Party for Reunification? Splitters!! (Apologies Ringway, too much libation and not enough liberation this evening).
    3
  92. W_e_i_m_a _r First the J%wSs bullied and harassed. Now trying an E£nabling Act to quell people from dissenting.
    3
  93. Dear Ringway, this I actually knew beforhand but you had some great graphics in this presentation. When radio stations looked like radio stations and men wore hats and smoked pipes. All the best.
    3
  94. Actually a billiards table. There are the three balls required for billiards.
    3
  95. Definitely Father Christmas, More depressing is , if you visit any garden centre this time of year, you will be hard pressed to find any form of Nativity scene.
    3
  96. Good Evening Lewis. How the devil are you? Have you had a good week? Whoops wrong channel. Great stuff as always. Thanks for all the videos this year. Have a Merry Christmas, and best wishes for the New Year. A collaboration with Autoshenangians would be sweet, wicked,awesome. Next would be Nuke's Top 5. Ghosts and radio. All the best
    3
  97. Dera History Guy, another great episode, but it is making me hungry. I may try the salted potaoes this weekend. As an aside the creators of "Banoffee Pie" Nigel Mackenzie and Ian Dowding allegedly never claimed copyright as they felt it was a gift to the world. Which then reminds me of John Innes who developed composts, but again declined copyright for the same reason. Maybe an episode of people who declined copyright for the greater good? As ever best wishes from the UK

  98. Less than the power of a microwave oven. Radio is sometimes quite magical. The transmissions from Voyager 2 are in the whereabouts of a billionth of a Watt.
    3
  99. I knew buying you doughnut to go with your coffee would spark your creative abilities. Is this a single from the forthcoming album?

  100. No pizzas were harmed in the making of this video.

  101. It sounds like Spring Heeled Jack upped his game

  102. My grandfather (REME) was evacuated from Crete by HMS Ajax. Then attached to The Eighth Army. Went through North Africa then up through Italy. Left the UK in 1939 and returned in 1945.Proud to be a descendant.

  103. At 2.14. A pink bungalow with UPVC windows, and a metal letter box. Even though it is a stock image, why would a transmitting station be recieving mail?

  104. And the oil industry saved whales.

  105. And everyday is a celebration of the film "Groundhog day"
    3
  106. Thank God for Martin Luther and Henry VIII.
    3
  107. Best wishes from the UK. Satire never ages. As an aside, having just read Chekov. Does any S*J*W ever remember a moment a period of joy, such as a sunrise, a seed they planted becoming a flower or a kind act they remember. Try the short story “ The Black Monk” to get context.
    3
  108. 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.

  109. As a humorous view, they used UK vehicles in the US as they would not be expecting them. A Vauxhall Corsa can be a great disguise.
    2
  110. And as a complete aside the Brookmans Park Transmitting Station appears in the 1960's "Avengers" episode "Super Secret Cypher Snatch".
    2
  111. The copper straps would also provide lightning protection.
    2
  112. The Victor was a subsonic aircraft. However on a couple of “ accidental” occasions, in dives, it was recorded as exceeding Mach 1 with no significant damage to the airframe.
    2
  113. I ponder that sometimes, those that be, think, here is a tower, let's stick a few more antannae on. Overlooking the initial specification of the tower, and forgetting the accretion of winter rime and storms, and then they wonder why the tower collapsed.
    2
  114. I am currently building a top bar beehive, so this was most timely. As a suggestion could you do the history of batteries, AAA, AA etc. and why there are no B sized batteries (no pun intended).
    2
  115. "We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm." I am not sure who originally said this but it was reference to the armed forces, and the police force(as was).
    2
  116. Just excellent.
    2
  117. Great stuff THC. I am definitely a fan of yours. Never underestimate the incompetence of the British Civil Service. The Bletchley computer, sharing jet engine knowledge of the jet engine with the Soviets, cancelling TSR2 and CVA 01. Their ineptitude is boundless.
    2
  118. Love you guys. An idea. “ NASA to develop hyper speed spaceship to retrieve the Pioneer probe plaques depicting a man and a woman”
    2
  119.  @RCAvhstape  Near West Knoyle, Wiltshire, there is a junction between the A350 and B3089. Before vehicle detection sensors were installed the traffic lights would act on an automated timed system. So the lights would change automatically regardless of the traffic. And in snowbound conditions the lights would change even if the road was impassable. Traffic sensors are installed on minor A Roads and B Roads and are identifiable as small mounted metal boxes to the side of the road, and the road surface will either have a line or criss cross of different tarmac where the induction cables are laid.
    2
  120. Could you imagine the outrage from Pavlovian leftists if a white male heterosexual bishop had been chosen? They would claim it was the introduction of religion into schools.
    2
  121.  @velisvideos6208  I would contend that a Cosmic Intelligence is involved with a sense of humour. In accord with our current understandimg of the formation of the Moon, millions of years ago the Moon was much closer to Earth. That in this present epoch with sentinent beings noting that the angle subtended by the Moon and Sun is identical is an act of Providence. And discovery of the Babel Fish will prove this beyond doubt.
    2
  122. Beautifully presented and the choice of background music perfectly complements the narrative. Your work shows that these people and their stories, although gone, are not forgotten, wherever they may lie. God bless you and family.

  123. Dear Ringway, congratulations on a well earned 100k subscription. All the best.

  124. But you know what soy milk tastes like?

  125. Thanks for posting another finance based video.Brings back memories of a past career. Do you have any of foreign exchange dealing or Chicago open cry futures market?

  126. But will you damn colonials learn a chicken may me coronated ( mild curry sayce with raisins) but a monarch is crowned. It is not difficult as you promenade along your sidewalks.

  127. Wild? It was positively livid.

  128. I admire the changes from cigarette, to pipe and to top it all the bubbles out of the pipe. Superb!!
    2
  129. Dear Ringway. Thanks for great content throughout the year. A safe and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
    2
  130. A sad loss. Anything you listen to on the internet will be monitiored and recorded on your file. Terrestial transmissions avoid this. Hams and pirates using SW/MW may become the only unrestricted , uncensored sources of news and information. If you think I am an idiot, and you may be right, why this worldwide concerted effort to close down terrestial radio?
    2
  131. Meth Gators versus Sharknado.

  132. Night vision binoculars. Number stations.Over the horizon radar. Just admit it Ringway, YOU are 007. And when you get sent the Aston Martin for review we will know for sure.
    2
  133. I always well up at the end of "The Dirty Dozen". That and "Bambi".
    2
  134. Excuse me. A review of radio technology. No number stations. no covert government listening posts. Where is Lewis? I hope he is not languishing in Gitmo. Otherwise the message will change from "Buy me a coffee" to "Help me make bail". :-)
    2
  135. Excellent presentation Ringway. Well researched and informative. Your video concludes an enjoyable Sunday YouTube Viewing Autoshenanigans Paul and Rebecca Whitewick and your good self. Just missing Summit or Nothing for the full bingo card. As ever all the best.

  136. Probably taken down as there may be an obligation to maintain/insure the mast while it is still standing.

  137. Great job as ever. Do you ever get letters of thanks when people return to these neglected properties?

  140.  @0therun1t21  Don't mention codes. I have had one for several weeks now that just won't shift. The snot and phlegm are really yellow. The sciatica is playing up again. Still as my Gran used to say if you've got your health.....Hello? Are you still there?
    2
  141. For those of a certain age in the UK, " The Kenny Everet Show" was similar.
    2
  142. I know of this story from a an old Readers Digest. It was inadequately repaired after one of the legs was damaged. Thank you for keeping this story alive.
    2
  143. The one question I would like to ask is how many of those who protest for “open borders “ and “all migrants are welcome “ leave their doors locked at night and are not offering free lodging to refugees.
    2
  144. Addendum. You are on 139 k subscribers. Autoshenanigans is on 131 k. The race to 200 k is on. Also I am surprised that "TheTimTraveller" was not on the ferry.

  145. Fascinating stuff. Perfect subject of an I-Spy Book :-) You may have seen them but a couple of YouTube videos abot the early warning Dew Line. https://youtu.be/q7hFJZf9fWk https://youtu.be/924n_cAx5zs As ever, all the best

  146. Dear Ringway, slightly off topic but you may like Pathe film of GPO riggers with some good shots of the Rugby transmitters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTW2R_4d09c

  147. What!! No love for a triangulation point ! You heathen !! 🙂 ( Yes. I am a sad man who has a passion for trig points) Dear Ringway, great video as always. And ignore pedantic trolls.

  154. Wonderfully atomspheric narration of a sad story. I can just imagine listening to you in a small bar or cabin with some tobbaco and a glass or two of alcohol. Much appreciation from the UK.

  157. Tom Robinson song " Up Against the Wall". And amend the Sex Pistols song to " Pretty English".

  158. Dear Ringway, some great historical research here. I wonder if L. Hotine was related to Brigadier Martin Hotine who was reponsible for the 1936 Ordnance Survey of the retriangulation of the UK and devised the triangulation pillars that we know today. (Sorry you know I am a sad b******d interetsed in such matters. :-)) . As for the warning signs about pacemakers and implants, I think if you have made it to reception without keeling over you should be okay. Great video and drone flying. And Manucnians complaining about anything? Even Welsh language programmes? A pure fabrication. Best wishes Phil Sharp,

  159. Sounds like HAARP have changed from altering the weather to forcing acceptance of the Devils Food which is pineapple on pizza. Obviously funded by Big Pineapple ( a covert CIA programme). Must put my tinfoil hat back on again before the 5G alters my neural pathways. Ringway, hope you get well soon. All the best.

  160. It may be that scary thing is with these constant transmissions they are they are telling automated war machines that Smolensk still exists. If Smolensk stops transmitting then the machines are activated. Do the US, China or even the UK operate similar number stations?
    1
  161. A bit off topic but radio waves will propogate forever. In a few million years the only evidence that humans existed will be a few space probes like Voyagers 1 and 2 and all the radio and TV transmissions spreading out across space. Reassuring to know that in a billion years time some aliens will be sitting down to watch the 1977 Morecambe and Wise Christmas Special.

  162. Taken from a meme. " The weather will get better if we pay more taxes and eat insects."

  163. The 112 mile London to Birmigham Railway was started in 1833 and completed in 1838. Five years. And built with just human labour and the use of animals such as horses, mules etc. No machinery, cranes, at that time. Meanwhile HS2...........

  166. Sir, I am a true blooded Christian Englishman, I really appreciate your videos-. So much to cover. Firstly,I am so sorry for the loss of your fellow citzens and I will say a prayer for them. Despite recent changes you cannot rely on the Federal Government to assist you in times of need. You Appalachians will have to support each other, as you have always done, As for your accent, it is true to you and yourself. Do not be disheartened by online critics. On a lighter side your talk of weather indicates you have English lineage in your background, It is inate to Englishmen to talk about the weather..Plus a continuous belligerent attitude to the French. God bless you and your family with good health. And if I win the lottey I would enjoy an evening with you and your friends over some good liqor and tobacco to share stories and put the world to rights All the best Phil Sharp Gulag UK

  167. As ever, an informative video. Please continue to keep away from grassy knolls and open windows. :-)

  168. i Like that gravitational acceleration 32 ft/s2, that the pressure at sea level is equivalent to a pressure head of 32 feet of water and that water freezes at 32 degrees Farenheit.

  169. Pah! Radio waves are the work of the devil and must be banned, Meanwhile 93 million miles away, and lets not go into cosmic rays. Yes there is a hazard working near an intense radio emitting device. But so is working in a dust filled environment or toxic fume environment. Good to see a proportionate and balanced video, All the best.

  170. My first comment was deleted by YouTube , possibly because it contained a link to the RNLI website. The "Kenneth Jones Pierpoint" was named after a RAF pilot killed in WW2. His sister made a donation to the RNLI to remember him.

  174. Dear Ringway, thank you for a clear and lucid explanation of what HAARP is and does.
    1
  175.  @RingwayManchester  Agreed. Further to my earlier comment there are some great Pathe movies of Rugby and Droitwich being constructed. There was one story I heard that sometimes during thundery weather the broadcasts from Dritwich on MW/LW could be heard if you stood in the open air near the towers. I would love to know if this is a myth or has actually happened. As always, all the best.

  176. Aztec death whistles? Pah!! A regiment of Scottish soldiers with several bagpipe players is far more intimidating. See the 1967 Crater Battle in Aden.

  177. Dear Lewis, on a serious note this video has sent me down a couple of rabbit holes. The first was what happened to all the ILR stations, and the other has led me to Arqiva, the private company that operates the majority of broadcast stations in the UK. Keep up with the great videos, and I like the general sub ten minute approach. It makes them so much more watchable. All the best Phil.

  180. Liked it. But a tired trope of a Englishman as unfeeling braggart. See our emotions when rise when jam is put first on a scone, before the clotted cream. In the meantime my suggestion for NASA to develop hyper space speed to recover the Pioneer probe plaques depicting a man and a woman is offered freely.

  182. Do not forget the man arrested for carrying a bladed weapon towards the vigil for the Southport victims.

  183. Let us not forget the contributions of China, paper, printing, gunpowder and chinaware itself.. But it was the Europeans who advanced these technologies

  184. Love the address of the MVU on Feelings Avenue in Womanhattan.

  185. Dear Ringway, knowing you are from Manchester area. That big body of water is known as "the sea". Not "a bloody big canal." It can be quite a culture shock for you inlanders.. ;-)

  186. Only plane to intercept the SR-71 was an English Electric Lightning.

  187. Great camerawork. And an impressive piece of engineering. I wonder if there is a lift for maintenance and removing/installing equipment?

  192. I thought only the Monarch can maintain a standing army, (apart from the Duke of Atholl) with five year Parliamentary approval. Who will this new army swear alleigance to?

  193. Stanton and Staveley were major manufactures of the spun concrete lamp posts.

  197. No, the end of the world will come about when 99 Red Balloons are released. And the actual order is likely to be on a UL frequency.

  199. If TSR2 had been fully developed it would still be flying, like the B-52 s. Nothing was like it until the 1990’s.

  200. Dear Lewis, all your videos are fascinating, and as it is your channel you can present whatever you want. On this particular video, I am impressed that your drone avoided the nearby 10kV electricity cables. And the tower itself seems lacking in lightning protection. Still I am sure Arqiva know what they are doing. All the best

  203. Ringway/Lewis covered this in a video 24 Feb 2022 called " The Secret Spy Antennas High Above The Streets Of London"

  204. As ever an fascinating subject. But also consider the varied languages of the World. Cyrillic, Arabic, Hebrew, Japanese and Chinese amongst many others. Why use the Romanic alphabet? And if you were a secret service would you not sometimes broadcast in decodable language to hide the real messages elsewhere? Sneaky stuff these spies are up to.

  205. Judge Jeffreys used the full force of the law to deal with rebels. How did it work out for him?

  206. Oh for the days of radio pirates broadcasting popular music. Now, so much espionage and counter-espionage you cannot distinguish between Russian and Western signals. Hopefully the British will use the theme music from "The Magic Roundabout " or cricket commentary by Henry Blofeld and John Arlott as channel markers. Face it, old style test match cricket commentary will send the eavesdroppers asleep .

  207. I have a terminal disease, so I will make this comment. One nation for the past six hundred years has thwarted a European hegemony, ruled by royal families, now called commissars or technocrats. They have avoided the use of aristocratic titles, but is essentienally the same families and clans. It seems apparent to me that part of the WEF agenda is to destroy England absoloutely and turn this country into an offshore gulag. Peolple often quote"1984", "Brave New World" and "Kalgeri Plan".. But I sense we are becoming a dystopia where "Escape From New York" is the aim. Who will be our Snake Plissken?

  208. Great work. There is something really satisfying about uncovering paths and driveways. Best wishes from the UK.

  210. In my case I would be rejected as containing too many carcinogens as I am a smoker.. I have left my lungs for resurfacing works of the M25 junctions 14 to 15 Northbound. @nickjung7394

  211. Superb as ever.I always like the deployment of the ride on mower. Just like a scene from "Thunderbirds". How do you dispose of tree cuttings? You never show it. Best wishes from England. We may have bad teeth but we not have poison Ivy. 🙂

  212. Aortic Dissection day is a serious topic and not to be mocked. But the female student making notes from the laptop is definitely Gen Z by totally ignoring the poster on the wall of the exact same image.
    1
  213. A good presentation of a complicated situation. A couple of maps would have helped. My concern is if the conflict escalates and Turkey gets involved it may invoke Article 5 of the NATO convention. Turkey is a member of NATO.

  214. I only became aware of the Freikorps with the (highly recommended ) reading of "The vanquished : why the First World War failed to end, 1917-1923" by Robert Gerwarth . It deals with the post WW1 turmoil. In the UK we tend to think that after the Armistice all the armies went home and war was over. Nothing could be further from the truth. I believe that my grandfather ( South Welsh Borderers) was stationed in Murmansk in 1919.
    1
  215.  @grahamprice3230  You are correct. Apologies my mistake. It was the South Wales Borderers. My grandfather was born 18th November 1900 so was spared the horror of fighting on the Western Front by seven days.

  216. English Electric Lightning could go to 88,000 feet and once caught an SR-71 (Blackbird) , much to the Americans annoyance.

  217. Tattoos. Once the marks of sailors, prisoners and prostitutes. And unfortunately, and those unwiilng, those sent to concentration camps and gulags. Nothing to be gained from defacing your own body.
