Crabwood Farm is actually a more significant site that it first appears. It formed the SHF mid-point between the IBA's Crawley Court and Chillerton Down. The IBA's regular weekly programme of Engineering Information Announcements would have been fed through here on their way into BT's ITV network distribution as was the IBA's first (experimental) digital programme link in 1984.
Many other IBA tests also used the site. A Microwave direct to home distribution system (MVDS?) was tested, and it may still form an important function with Arqiva today.
