14 dishes in a row; the Westerbork Synthese Radio Teleskope (WSRT). Nearly 3 km long, build 1970 and working 120 MHz-8,3 GHz.

This dish is home of the PI9CAM station. We visited it and used it to listen to a pulsar.

We are standing in front of the SWR 666 KHz transmitter in the neighbourhood of Inzigkofen, the hometown of DK5EW.

300 kW amplifier for 666 kHz. It is using a Thomson tube TH573 and has a 5 kW driver. Both tubes are watercooled. An example of magnificent German Craftmanship. We were pleased to have a guided tour. The transmitter wil shut down end 2011 and the 5/8 and 1/4 antennas will be dismantled.
