... Was that not crystal plaice when the bbc 1 50 mhz service came back 
after the war ? may be before they fitter antennas with 'co sequent squared' 
radiation patterns , which improved the coverage and stopped the lawns from 
turning a slight shade of brown ....
although to  be fair the antenna work that lead to  such a device was still 
secret after ww2 ... bit like visiting a radar museum .. once you get past a 
rather bent h2s scanner and may be a birmingham magnitron ... you dont get 
to see very much more hihi
