Hi Gary, Norddeich Radio was well known to top band listeners, what we would
call a Coast Station whereas the web page intimates "Broadcast". Since its
lowest frequency was around 600m (500kHz) the mast, at 132m, would be very
close to a quarter-wave, and so would not need much loading. My guess is the
arms are supporting MF and HF vertical aerials as well. It was a big signal
on 2182 on the East Coast.
Cheers de Alan G3NYK
