Line 15: [[File:Chain home.jpg\|thumb\|The Swingate towers were originally equipped with platforms like this one at [[Great Baddow]] in Essex, the only Chain Home radar tower to retain the original platforms.]] The '''Swingate transmitting station''' is a facility for FM-transmission in the village of [[Swingate, Kent\|Swingate]], near [[Dover]], [[Kent]] ({{gbmapping\|TR334429}}). For many years there were three lattice towers with a height of {{convert\|111\|m\|ft\|0}}. This station was one of the first 5 [[Chain Home]] Radar stations completed in 1936 and was originally designated AMES ([[Air Ministry Experimental Station]]) 04 Dover. The FM transmitting [[Antenna (radio)\|antennas]] are attached to what was the middle tower; [[microwave]] link dishes and [[mobile telephone]] antennas were spread across all three towers. The south tower was dismantled in March 2010, as a result, only two remain. The Swingate towers no longer have the three cantilever platforms that were fitted originally.
