But the Germans had an even bigger one which was kept Secret and code named
the Boneshaker built BC

where

powerful

long

> antennas ever to be built. De Groot had experience with Telefunken
equipment
> and many of the wireless station parts were manufactured in Holland or
> Germany giving a good indication of the capabilities of Marconi's
> competitors. The Netherlands 'home' station was built at Kootwijk in
central
> Holland. It also used Telefunken technology but due to delays in the
> commencement of its construction was not ready for service until after the
