HMS Forest Moor

HMS Forest Moor

HMS Forest Moor was a Royal Navy land base located in Nidderdale in the borough of Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England.

Opened in 1960 as the Royal Navy's major High frequency (HF) receiver station, its primary function was to route HF signals from locations abroad to military bases and command centres in the UK. The base was manned by a small group of Royal Naval radio operators and electricians (approximately six to a shift).

In 2003 it was transferred to VT Communications under a PPP contract to provide HF Communications to the Ministry of Defence via the Defence Communication Services Agency. It is now operated by civilian personnel, though a small number of tri-service staff remains. Now the Network Control Station for the Defence High Frequency Service, it is undergoing an extensive modernisation program to become the hub of this global communications system
