Found on Google Earth --- While wan<strong>de</strong>ring about Iceland looking for the<br />

erupting volcano, I found this. Could this be the transmitting antenna for<br />

Iceland's LW station on 189 kHz?<br />

<br />

(Mike Bugaj-CT-USA, WTFDA-AM via dxld Mar 26)<br />

If the coordinates on this picture are correct, it doesn't match either<br />

the 198 site in Gufuskalar or the 207 site on the east coast of Iceland.<br />

Maybe a LORAN mast?<br />

(Scott Fybush-NY-USA, ibid. dxld Mar 26)<br />

Glenn, I am still digging, but it's not Loran (the 189 kHz site is the<br />

former Loran site, repurposed by Harris Corp. with help from us;<br />

the 207 kHz is a newly established site as a part of the same project,<br />

also our <strong>de</strong>sign), and it's not Omega, and those coordinates don't match<br />

any Decca sites.<br />

I have some reference to a "1000 footer" in Iceland in some project<br />

correspon<strong>de</strong>nce about <strong>im</strong>pedance calculations for various low frequency and<br />

VLF sites, but my data doesn't inclu<strong>de</strong> a location.<br />

But I think it's the Navy Keflavik LF (37.5 kHz) and it was built in 1993<br />

or so, but is supposedly 13 km from the former Keflavik NAS, which is in<br />

southern Iceland.<br />

It doesn't look like it's toploa<strong>de</strong>d, but it does have insulators in the<br />

guys, so is some sort of MF, LF or VLF installation. But I'm unable to<br />

i<strong>de</strong>ntify it.<br />
