in 1927, an AM long-wave transmitter was established for the State Radio Broadcasting Company in the new Kalundborg Radiophonic Station on the Gisseløre isthmus near Kalundborg. The transmission frequency was 260 kHz with a nominal transmission power of 7.5 kW. The antenna consisted of two 105 m high three-legged steel masts connected by a single antenna wire, and was built by Nakskov Shipyard. In 1954, the masts were extended to 118 m and provided with 23 m wide cross booms that carried eight top wires for a so-called Alexanderson antenna. From 15 November 1982, the transmission power was increased to 300 kW and the frequency changed to 243 kHz. from June 16, 2011, with a power of 50 kW a Canadian-produced transmitter from Nautel. 31-12-2023 closed down forever thanks for video 🤠

It is sad to see this end of an era. Thank you for the time you had to record this historical catch. Thank you for sharing John 73!

[@mutezone]

You're welcome. It was eventually going to happen with the broadcast hours being reduced for a number of years & the shipping forecast ending last November. 73s & have a good weekend.

Will be missed. Thanks for documenting it.

You're welcome.

We don’t have long wave in the US. Thanx for posting.

[@mutezone]

You're welcome. Only a handful of stations are left here in Europe, so LW is in doubt as to its future.
