Norddeich Radio was also an impressive signal on about 1830kHz CW when passing traffic for, I think, the North Atlantic Weather Service. I believe some East Coast Ws used it as a propagation indicator.
On a very close frequency, also on CW, you could find Ostend Radio - or was it
Antwerp?. The only way I could separate the two was to use the G6CJ Stereocode
processor.

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.
