I used non-Norwegian sources to find out their locations. How was the concrete brought up the mountain for building the anchor blocks on the mainland site? As there is no access road, either helicopters or a temporary aerial tramway might have been used. How large was the power consumption of the tr...

I came from Germany. I find the facility of Noviken and the former Aldra Omega transmitter are very interested as they are respectively were realized in a very unique manner with a wire span across a valley instead of using towers. There is no similiar installation in Germany, although there was one...

It uses like the former OMEGA-station in Norway wires spun between rocks ( see http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/noviken-vlf-transmitter ). Does someone know when it was built? Has someone more information? W...

Former OMEGA-transmitter Bratland

OMEGA-transmitter Bratland was surely one of the most unusual transmission facilities in the world as it used a wire antenna to Aldra island as antenna. Unfortunately not many information on this facility are available and I hope to find some more by forumers. I have got the following questions: - w...
