The Trinity House ExperienceIt
was never boring being a Storno field engineer, working with such a wide
variety of customers and systems. Among the more exciting locations you
might be called upon to visit were the lighthouses and lightvessels of
the Trinity House lighthouse service. |

CQF600 base stations on the left provided a main and standby UHF link
for control and monitoring of generators, fuel levels, intruder alarms,
lamps, fog horn, etc. as well as a voice link for contact back to
shore. The open cabinet on the right provided control, monitoring
and antenna switching for the transmitters. |
