Blazon

Azure, from below the fess point and above an island or, issuant from waves of water argent and vert, two lightning flashes or. In front of the flashes a white tailed tropicbird volant to dexter.
(Glossary of Heraldic Terms)

Significance

This station is located on the island of the same name. The badge depicts the white-tailed tropicbird as its main device because it is indigenous to the area, nesting in crevices of the island's cliff faces. Locally, the birds are named longtails.

Remarks

The rocky island represents Daniel's Head, the physical location of the station. It was originally used as an HF/DF site by the Royal Navy. Bermuda operated as a Naval Radio Station from July 1963 until July 1966. After unification, she became CFS Bermuda.

Motto

Semper vigilans (Ever watchful)
