Receiving
Station and Service Center Utlandshörn |
Short history:
Due to the continuous increasing power of the transmitters it was necessary to
separate receivers and transmitters
after the beginning of Norddeich Radio on 11/20/1905.
Therefore the receiving station "Westgaste" was built 1923 in
the town of Norden.
But electrical interference from other buildings caused bad reception of
radio signals.
For this reason a new receiving station "Utlandshörn" was built close
to the dike about 7 km west of Norden.
This receiving station was operated until closing 1999.
Today, "Deutsche Telekom" is operating a telephone call and
service center there.
Moved into the new building.
On November 16'th 1981 it was officially put into operation.
