Rugby radio station was a large very low frequency (VLF) transmission facility at Hillmorton near the town of Rugby, Warwickshire in England, situated just west of the A5 trunk road and in later years junction 18 of the M1 motorway. It came into service on 1 January 1926 and was originally used to transmit telegraph messages to the Commonwealth. After the 1950s this transmitter, active as callsign GBR on 15.8 kHz, was used for transmitting messages to submerged submarines. The GBR transmitter was shut down on 1 April 2003 after the Royal Navy decided not to renew its contract with BT in favour of a new contract with VT Communications. In 1927, a second transmitter was installed to initiate the first transatlantic commercial telephone service;linking New York and London on 60 kHz using single-sideband modulation. This transmitter was decommissioned in 1956 and became the time signal transmitter MSF.
