In 1959, Stenigot was selected as part of NATO's Ace High communications programme developed in the mid 1950's.
Ace High was a tropospheric scatter/microwave link system providing an exclusive communications network comprising 49 tropospheric scatter links and 40 line-of-sight microwave links. It extended from northern Norway and through central Europe to eastern Turkey and included 570 voice, 260 telegraph and 60 data circuits at 84 sites.
There were five sites in Britain:
Shetland Islands
Mormond Hill near Fraserburgh (Aberdeenshire)
Brizlee Wood near Alnwick (Northumberland)
Detling near Maidstone (Kent)
Stenigot (Lincolnshire)
The Ace High station utilized 4.72 acres of the former CH site between the earlier transmitter and receiver blocks. It was enclosed within a security fence and provided with high intensity lighting. A two storey police house stood at the entrance gate part way along a track running north west from the road. The most prominent feature was two pairs of parabolic dish antenna, 60 feet in diameter supported on seven lattice steel girder legs.
The transmitters, receivers and power supplies were located in a single storey brick building between the pairs of dishes.
With the development of new microwave communications technology in the 1980's, tropospheric scatter systems became redundant and the Ace High network was abandoned in the early 1990's and the stations closed.
The equipment and buildings were removed in 1996 although the four parabolic dishes - their diameter is 60ft and weigh roughly 100 tonnes each.can still be seen lying on the ground close to the old chain home receiver block. All the other buildings connected with Ace High, including the police house have been demolished with only the concrete bases remaining to indicate their former positions.NATO selected the site for use in it's Ace High communication programme - a huge communication's network from Norway to Turkey.
