Hi everybody,
as there is discussion in this list about CW ship comms
on 500 kHz, you might be interested to see a photo of
the 500 kHz antennas on the roof of the Hellenic Coast
Guard HQ (callsign SXE) in Piraeus. There was another
such station in Aspropyrgos Beach, near Elefsis, callsign
SXE2, which used a proper tower. The installation was used
regularly to announce arrivals of passenger ships to the
port until February 1999. Then it was replaced with VHF
comms on channel 7, where the Coast Guard has a repeater.
