provide radio broadcasts for the IBA - two short-wave and two medium-wave,
which operate in accordance with and subject to the approvals Bezeq
received from the Ministry for the Environment.
It is further noted that on 31.12.2003, the Company ceased all broadcasts
from the station, as required by the State and the Broadcasting Authority,
and since that date the site has not been used as a broadcasting station.
The Hillel station closed on Jan 1[2004] and with it the two AM
transmitters: 200 kW for Alef on 576, and 1200 kW for Dalet on 738 that
was not in use due to ban from the environmental authorities. That
location also had two shortwave transmitters: 100 kW Thomson from 1959
(11585 kHz) and 500 kW from Telefunken from 1983. Only the 500 kW
transmitter is being retained; everything else in the station is being
scrapped. Staff have been dispersed and dismantling is now starting.
As opposed to the original plan, they have decided not to replace any of
the lost frequencies so Alef coverage is greatly reduced.
Looking at Google Earth the image date is somewhere between February &
July 2006. Pity we can't access older images pre 2004.
Likewise, during the first quarter of 2007, sale of the Hillel Station
premises has been completed (as set out in the Company's immediate report
dated November 15, 2006). The area of the premises is approximately 956
dunams, and the consideration received for sale of it is approximately
$ 20.8 million
