Forever immortalized on Tubular Bells: Coastal Radio Station, GBR

YOU CAN HEAR GBR TRANSMITTING, ON THE "TUBULAR BELLS" RECORDING BY MIKE OLDFIELD.

A Morse code signal inadvertently entered the Tubular Bells recording and can be heard on the CD and decoded today.

This great story features a radio station called Rugby Radio Station (GBR) that was in Warwickshire, in the heart of England, and the famous mansion/studio The Manor that Richard Branson of Virgin made available to Mike Oldfield for whom he worked at Tubular Bells between 1972 and 1973.

Located 60 kilometers from The Manor, where Mike Oldfield spent long months producing his great album, was Rugby Radio, where it was built at the end of the Great War and during the Second World War it was used as a very low frequency radio station (VLF) for communication with submarines in the North Atlantic and for telephone service between England and the United States.

This station stopped broadcasting in 2003 and closed in 2007.
