What are the most unusual locations for an amateur radio station that you have worked ?
I worked a UK station in a aircraft cockpit. This being under normal circumstances illegal. But this was during Museums on the Air & it was a historic aircraft.
I have also worked a Light ship, Light Houses on the Air.
The Tower of London. Museums on the Air.
HMS Belfast. GB2RN.
The International Space Station.
A Gas rig.

Most months I help to operate a special event station situated on a RAF Radar base that was a former "top Secret " underground bunker during the cold war.
I have also operated from on top of Church's & operated special event stations at 2 Light house's (Light houses on the air), a Wind mill (Wind mills on the air & from inside a second RAF base.

Hi Daxi / All

That is a very impressive list indeed, you must have a good head for heights mate.

This got me thinking about Fred Dibnah, I bet Fred would have made a lot of good contacts from some of those church steeples and chimineys that he worked on =))

Oh I almost forgot ..does working a helicopter on 11m count ?
