UAE Dubai Lihbab field - UAE RADIO SW TXsite ?
24 57 22.30 N 54 57 21.38 E
[DUBAI] Emirates Radio Dubai SW site has been scrapped in 2004. This
Optimod 9100A Audio Processor (Mono) is one of four identical units and
was removed from PE racks of the Lihbab 4x350 kW AM SW broadcast radio
station demolished due to reason that it was handed over by the Dubai
Government to a private company who quickly realized their unability to
run such a great setup. After their numerous attempts to lease it out to
foreigh broadcasters it eventually went under hammer of scrap companies
together with another great 1500 kW AM MW station on the coast, whose
optimods I have sold last week.
This station was built on 1979 with four 350 kW Marconi transmitters
capable to combine theit power or to work separately onto direction
switcheable antenna system utilizing 14 towers supporting multi curtain
phased dipole arrays covering entire SW band delivering 4 programs
simultaneously. It was on air till 2004, when it was shut down although
fully operational and well maintained by British engineers. I was lucky to
pull this nice and clean Optimod as well as another one listed separately
and some other equipment from hammer of a scrap company engaiged in this
vandalism.

The 1500 kW mediumwave was on 1476 kHz at Lihbab (Al Habab) fields. (kl)
