I came across the name many years and asked online somewhere about it and was contacted by someone who had worked there when it was CSO/GCHQ.

I think it was, it has to be remembered that there were a number of intercept / DF networks operating virtually independently - there are lists around.
Royal Navy
Royal Air Force
Army
Radio Security Service, sometimes called "Foreign Office" on lists.
In some areas they all had their own sites, often near to each other so it can get quite confusing!
