The Osterloog transmitter was a broadcasting facility for medium wave broadcasting at Osterloog in the north of East Frisia .
history
The system was built in 1939 to send advertising and propaganda broadcasts to England and used ten guyed tubular steel masts as an antenna system, which were erected on an area of 23 hectares. Of these 10 transmission masts, two were used as radiators. They were 150 meters high. Each of these emitters was assigned four masts with a height of 120 meters and a diameter of 0.7 meters as radiation-coupled directors and reflectors.
With this arrangement, the transmission power was bundled by a factor of 5 in the direction of the target area. The transmission frequency could be set between 400 kHz and 1060 kHz, the transmission power was 100 kW. The plant went into operation on November 28, 1939 and survived World War II.
From 1945 to 1948 the system was first used for the BFBS soldier broadcaster , then for the BBC , before the NWDR took over the system and used it for regular broadcasts with 5 kW power from 1950. From 1952 to 1962 the station Osterloog was used again by the BBC.
After the radio station in Popens near Aurich started operating in 1961 , the decline of the station Osterloog began and in 1964 radio broadcasting was stopped and the system was handed over to the Deutsche Bundespost, which it used until 1997 for the coastal radio station "Norddeich-Radio".
In the period from 1947 to 1960, one of the 150-meter-high transmission masts and the eight 120-meter-high transmission masts were dismantled and erected at other locations. While the 150 meter high mast was divided and half of it was rebuilt in Etzhorn and Münster, the 120 meter high masts in Osnabrück (1947), Langenberg (1948), Hemmingen (1949), Braunschweig (1950), Pinneberg, Bonn, Herford and rebuilt in Hamburg-Billwerder (1962).
