Amatuer radio has a special link to Kingston Lacy. Ralph Bankes, the last owner, was a keen enthusiast of amateur radio. Throughout the 1930s, Ralph made contact with numerous people, both at home and abroad. America, Portugal, France, Scotland, and Ireland, as well as a number of English places – Dorset, London, Cumberland and Nottinghamshire – are among the locations that Ralph Bankes managed to contact.
