Hi All,

Public awareness to the effects of extreme high power transmitters have
resulted into a public discussion if Kootwijk is a propper site for a Giga
powered LW transmitter. Legal procedures are pending to stop the project. A
second site off-shore is developed at the moment. The location should be a
few miles West of the Zeeland isles (South-East Netherlands). The plan
includes antenna masts well over a hundred meters in height to be
constructed on top of artificial sand isles in the North-Sea. There have
also been asked questions in the Dutch parlament about governement approval
given to this enterprise.

best 73,

Michael Sanders, PA3BSH.
