HD,

That means there were a lot of people in the Blackpool area breaking the law right up until the late 90's when the two 264A radars were operating at St Anne's. Apparently they operated in the UHF channel 36 frequency, hence the lovely white lines you used to get on your screen every 15 seconds or so.
