British tech entrepreneur William Sachiti had been living and working in the abandoned Royal Air Force (RAF) air defense radar station for about three months when he posted a thread on Reddit looking for help. 

“Help! I want to bring this back to life,” he said in a post on /r/electronics that contained a photo of a gigantic AMES Type 84 radar unit. It’s a massive dish, 60 feet across and 25 feet tall, that sits atop a pedestal. It pumped microwaves out to a range of 250 miles and signs nearby warned of the ionizing radiation.
