RANGERS HOUSE - THE M2000A QTH
Ranger's House is located in Chesterfield Walk, Blackheath, London SE10.
It is 50m
above sea level with panoramic views especially to the West, North and East. To the south
it looks out over Blackheath. It is an ideal amateur radio location and the site
proved excellent for working DX..
Ranger's House is a handsome red brick villa on the edge of Greenwich Park. Built
in the early 1700s by Admiral Hosier, its most illustrious occupant was Philip, 4th Earl
of Chesterfield. In 1815, the house acquired its present name when it became the
official residence of the Ranger of Greenwich Park.
Today, Ranger's House houses the Suffolk Collection of paintings; the chief attractions
are the magnificent series of Jacobean full-length portraits by Lely and others, and
several Old Masters.
