I remember Portished Radio (call sign used to be Golf Kilo Alpha) very well having used its maritime services on a regular basis in the early 70’s.
In its heyday they employed over 180 Radio Officers.It was the largest and busiest Maritime transmission/receiving station in the world.
It closed in 2000 I believe.
These days you can do all they used to do using radios the size of your fridge on your mobile phone in seconds.
