Yesterday, around 17:30UTC, the Danish long wave transmitter ‘Kalundborg’ stopped transmitting after 96years of service.
The MW transmitter was taken down and the tower was demolished 10 years ago, but the LW was kept operational at 50kW TX PWR, until yesterday.
An end of an era of almost 100 years AM broadcast in Denmark.
Driving to my friends New Year’s party, I listened to it in my car. Quality was amazing - I don’t think people of today realize how well this actually worked given the simplicity 🎵🙂
As an RF and radio enthusiast this was an emotional moment - I’m sure some of you will understand 🥲
