I remember when I was a kid something like 60 years ago my aunt and uncle moved to Pontllanfraith and I had my first of several summer holiday with them. I walked down the road to explore the neighbourhood and saw the old mill at Gelligroes for the first time, and noticed that there was a strange contraption of wires behind it. I now know it was a cage antenna but had no clue about what it was then. I looked for it the next summer and it had gone. Local people told me that a "ham" had lived there, I didn't know what a ham was but they told me it was someone who played with radios for fun.
Incidentally, Mynydd Islwyn is the hill right beside the mill, so if he was signalling to a friend on Mynydd Islwyn he was not signaling up the Sirhowy valley as described in the article.
