The Eddystone, or the Eddystone Rocks, are a seaswept group of rocks situated some 9 statute miles (14 kilometers) south west of Rame Head in the English county of Cornwall.

Although the nearest point on the English mainland to the Eddystone is in the county of Cornwall, the rocks fall within the city limits of Plymouth, and hence within the county of Devon.

 Eddystone
The light on the Eddystone was first lit on 14 November 1698, and although the lighthouse survived that winter it was found to be badly in need of repair the following spring.
Winstanley greatly altered and strengthened his tower and included numerous features which exemplified his own eccentricity, but he had sufficient confidence in his work, which was finished in 1699, to have expressed a great desire to be present in the lighthouse during the greatest storm that ever was.
The lighthouse had survived five years and the difficulty of establishing a permanent lighthouse in such an exposed position was clear.

After careful testing of shapes and materials for the various components, a number of pre-production models were assembled and evaluated by the radio amateurs working for the company, one of these pre-production models being displayed at the Amateur Radio Exhibition in November 1947.

Recent correspondence with Cliff Hartles, who was employed by Stratton and Co. at the time, suggests the total number of S689's specifically assembled under this deal, together with the 100 or so distributed normally, may have finally completed the second batch of 250 keys.
