NETHERLANDS Nice Antenna pics I have been going through some of my old
tapes from when I was last in Holland in 2002/03 etc and I was checking
out some of the Dutch tx sites. Mainly MW. However I came across this
antenna site that has some fantastic pics of Radio Nederland's SW and MW
sites at Flevo and also a nice one of Belgium and Luxemberg. It's well
worth a look if you like your antennas and txs etc
