Radio Beacon
Every six minutes would transmit the morse code for CN several times followed by a continuous tone,allowing the radio operator aboard ship to rotate his aerial and obtain a bearing from the beacon
Beacon established about 1938.
Did have a PLK and ALK but after Calf of Man was built the accomodation was on occasion used as the shore station for some of the PLK's whilst stationed at Calf of Man
An Attendant was appointed in 1977 but I'm not sure whether he was a replacement or new appointment?
Beacon discontinued in 1992
