The Pinneberg transmitter is a telecommunications system in Pinneberg . It is owned by the German Weather Service . The predecessor until the 1990s was the Quickborn radio station .

The transmitter system operates various transmitters. DDH47 transmits on the frequency 147.3 kHz, which is just outside the long-wave broadcast range (148.5 kHz - 283.5 kHz). It sends weather reports, mainly for seafaring, with a transmission power of 20 kilowatts via RTTY with 50  baud . The broadcasts of meteorological information by the German Weather Service via its RTTY transmitters DDH7, DDK2, DDK9 as well as DDH8, DDH9 and DDH47 serve exclusively for the safety of seafaring within the framework of the international SOLAS agreement.

A T-antenna suspended from two 99 meter high, grounded, guyed steel lattice masts is used as the transmitting antenna .
