'The Marconi Beam Wireless Stations of Somerset' is a history of the county's two main high-frequency point-to-point receiving stations located at Bridgwater and Somerton. The Bridgwater station was only active for around 15 years, whilst the Somerton station continued in its role in one form or another until 2000.
