Virtually Prehistoric: Beneath the Surface at Grime's Graves Flint Mines, Norfolk
Grime's Graves is a network of underground shafts and galleries hewn from the chalk around 5,000 years ago. Catherine Tuck and Peter Topping describe how a three-dimensional laser scan of these workings has enabled archaeologists to explore the scale and complexity of the site.
 
An Introduction to High Frequency Radio in Tunnels
In recent CREG journals we have reported on experiments with HF, VHF and UHF radios in tunnels. The way these radio signals propagate is something of a mystery - does the tunnel act as a waveguide? If not, why not? In this article, David Gibson, Richard Rushton and John Rabson pool their thoughts. 1. How Propagation Varies with Frequency, 2. What is a Waveguide?, 3. A Bibliography of CREG information.
 
Comparative Propagation Tests Along a Railway Tunnel
Chris Trayner and John Rabson have conducted radio propagation tests from 28MHz to 433MHz in Boughton Brake railway tunnel. They here present the results, which show a fixed attenuation in dB/m for each frequency.
 
Web Watch
Peter Ludwig brings us another wide-ranging selection of Web sites. Online access to the sites mentioned is available from a page kindly provided by Martin Melzer.
