Coastal radio station Sahlenburg

The coast radio station Sahlenburg was a facility of Elbe-Weser Radio in the Cuxhaven district of Sahlenburg for maritime radio traffic in the border and shortwave range.

Antennas

The coastal radio station originally used a triangular antenna as a transmitting antenna , which was attached to three 40-meter-high, fish-belly-shaped, guyed masts made of pitch pine wood that were erected in 1929 .

In September 1937 these masts were replaced by three free-standing, 50-meter-high towers made of Brandenburg pine with a triangular cross-section, which also carried a triangular antenna. In 1967 two of these towers were demolished due to old age and the remaining tower was fitted with a long-wire antenna . In 1970 this tower was also dismantled after two 67-meter-high self-radiating transmission masts, insulated from earth , were erected in a steel framework construction with a square cross-section.

Since the coast radio station ceased operations, the masts have been used as carriers for cell phone antennas .
