Between 1978 and 2023, the BBC Far Eastern Relay Station broadcast radio programmes addressing the largest audiences in Asia of the BBC World Service. The site at Kranji, Singapore, complemented transmission facilities in the United Kingdom, Cyprus, Hong Kong and Oman. Each was built on a vast scale, and were complex, because they transmitted multiple radio programmes simultaneously to different destinations. However, in essence the stations had a simple function: to convert electricity from the grid into radio frequency energy, to superimpose the programme signal (typically using Amplitude Modulation), and finally to radiate the energy with such high power that programmes could be heard using inexpensive, hand-held, battery powered radios with short telescopic antennas across wide areas of the world.
