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.

Hi all,
I do not know what kind of LF equipment is still existing at
Kootwijk but the
following news may be of interest to all LF fans:

On an recent trip to the Netherlands (nr Groningen) I have read in a PTT
brochure that plans are underway for a new longwave transmitter
at Kootwijk, but
EMC problems were also foreseen for this area. Further
investigations revealed
the idea to operate a broadcast longwave transmitter at Kootwijk
and have the
programme compiled by a company in the U.K., aiming at listeners
in the U.K.
HW?
