This SW TX site belongs to the history books. |
Expensive to operate and with an audience that keeps getting smaller and smaller, |
the powers that be decided to pull the plug. |
Fortunately I took these pictures a few months before the transmitters went off air. |
I revisited the site on June 26th 2010. |
I've added those pictures below. |
The masts were still standing, but the wire-antennas were all gone. |
It was a sad sight, seeing this impressive TX site stripped down to its core. |
A third visit is planned to find out which of the towers remain as a remembrance |
of a period when signals emitted from here were captured all over the planet. |

Completely stripped, only the masts remain standing. |
