Music And Wires: Cancer Demon

I understand that the title of my latest blog may be eye catching, indeed I'm sure you will agree that Cancer is a truly bad illness, that touches every human.
I'm sure that like myself, you have your own stories, in a nutshell, even if you are not the victim, the effect of Cancer effects everyone.

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you will no doubt be aware of my love for music. I recently purchased Jorn latest CD "Traveller". Jorn Lande is a heavy rock/melodic rock artist, that was born in Norway, in my view he is the modern day "Ronnie James Dio".

What also sets Jorn apart from other "Metal" artists, is the subject matter of his songs, he has also written songs about subjects like Global Warming, which is pretty unique. On his latest album, Jorn tackles head on the subject of Cancer, which again, I believe a first. Take a watch and a listen to the "Cancer Demon" video.

Well,now to change the mood a little, ,my family and I have just returned from a weeks holiday in Cornwall, we stayed in Hollywell Bay (About 4 miles south of Newquay), at a Park Dean Caravan Park. I'm pleased to report we all had a great time, and we all returned with tanned faces.

I only spent two hours DXing, and that was on the FM Band II, so it was quick band scan. It was great to hear the likes of RED FM for Ireland, but in a strange twist, I was also receiving strong signals from France, I wasn't sure if this was normal reception for the location, but I did manage some recordings via my Degen DE1103 and Sony Recorder. I positioned myself, right on top of the dunes that overlooked the bay.

While I was walking the costal path, I came across the MOD site that is sat right next the the coastal path. I believe that the army base was used for training, however it is no longer in use. What did catch my eye, was one of there antenna arrays. They were fenced off, but also came with warnings, of Danger Non Ionizing Radiation.
They seem to have two of these unusual antenna arrays on the base around a quarter of a mile apart. I wonder does anyone have an idea what these antenna would be used for listening or transmitting for? Photo below.
