"Daventry Calling"
On 29th March 1992 at 11:30 GMT an era came to an end on Borough Hill Daventry. This was the day that the last shortwave transmission for the BBC World Service was made from the BBC Site at Borough Hill, though the BBC World service continues to transmit all over the world this marked the end of services from the Daventry site and 67 years of association with the BBC world service from the hill.
The Daventry station was known worldwide with the callsign of 5XX and the distinctive BBC introduction which preceded transmitions from the station in the early days of “Daventry Calling”.
