Hi Peter
Ah that sounds more like it. Aerial maintenaance shuts down the whole site 
these dats including MSF.  There is really no reason for them to keep it 
running but I think Trinity House are paying the bill. It cannot be used for 
nav without Lessay and the output from Sylt, So I muse that they are keeping 
it powered up because the equipment is quite old now (1990s vintage, the 
unused kit destined for Loop Head in Ireland) and if the leave it off for 
any length of time it just wont start again :-))  We all know that syndrome 
!

I dont know if this is correct but I got the feeling it was not running 
anything like full power??
