|
| This shoot turned into a lenghty 3 hour visit, |
| where I found myself wondering across these historic grounds. |
| This resulted in 193 pictures totalling nearly 1GB of data. |
| Norkring has 1 DAB mux in use, RTBF.be uses this site for |
| 1 AM station, 3 FM stations, 1 DAB mux and 1 DVB-T mux. |
| All SW transmissions are a thing of the past, luckily for me, the antennas are not. |
| An historical overview (written in French) can be found here. |

| The AM antenna (245 meters in height), it used to carry 2 stations, 1 French & 1 Flemish. |
| A specially designed diplexer was used to transmit both signals via 1 mast. |
| A schematic can be viewed here. |
| This site was unique, normally Flemish stations are not allowed on Walloon soil. |
| That may not sound like anything special, but in a country with a lot of political tension between |
| the North (Flemish region) & the South (French region) it was! |

| Hmm... it's only dangerous when you're dumb enough |
