| The two 750KW transmitters affectionately known as "BERYL". View looking down the transmitter hall, | Another haunting sunset view shot from the north bay. | I think I used the 7-second timer to get this shot of myself in the control room. | The interior is rugged and doesn't forgive the careless traveller. |

| A view from the back of one of the bungalows looking towards MERS and the UK Club. | This is part of the receiver antenna site, I think. | Another shot taken with the 7 second timer. This was my Honda 50. | A rainy day on Masirah! This was a rare event. |

| I recorded a voice tape using my Grampian ribbon mike, then later copied it to a cassette tape, and sent that to my friends by post. | Biblical-style sunset. It impressed the hell out of me, that's for sure. | Bob looks somewhat tipsy in this snap. On the right is Peter. The guy on the left was a real eccentric but I can't recall who. | Photos always welcome |
