| On this glorious day the tower opened it's doors to the public |
| for the first time in it's existence. |
| Naturally, yours truly had to be there :-) |
| It needs to be said that this was organized by Norkring, |
| this meant that, for example, the Broadcast Partner facilities |
| were off limits to the public. |
| I was also one of the lucky few that got a ticket to "the dome" at 193 meters. |
| Finally I was able to look down on the antennas as opposed to up. |

| A look inside the Norkring Technical Control Center. |
| All transmissions nationwide are monitored in this single room. |

| The Norkring transmitter room. |
| The following picture features the FM transmitters used for VRT. |
| From left to right, we have the backup transmitter, Radio 1, Radio 2, Klara, |
| Studio Brussel & MNM transmitters. |
| The backup transmitter automatically switches on should one of the transmitters fail. |
| The frequency & output power is automatically copied to the backup transmitter. |
 |
| These 2 pictures show a close-up of the Radio 1 transmitter. |
| TX output power does not exceed 10kW, the ERP is 50kW. |

| The DAB monitoring rack. |
 |
 |
 |
| Sooner or later, something breaks down. |
| Luckily, the engineers at Norkring still posses the skills needed to fix things ;-) |
 |
 |
| Hmm, Donna Z.O. 93 MHz? That means this TX used to be on air in Genk. |

| The echo chamber. |
 |
 |
 |
| There are several vents that are used to lift heavy equipment inside the building. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| The feeders are also visible in the echo chamber. |
