Zonsondergang bij Radio Kootwijk.
Sunset at the former radio station “Radio Kootwijk”. The main building was built in 1923 and entirely constructed from armoured concrete. It was used for short and long wave telegraph transmissions between The Netherlands and the Dutch Indies (Indonesia). In 2004 the park lost its last transmitter functions.

Radio Kootwijk is a small town in the Dutch municipality of Apeldoorn, with approximately 120 inhabitants (in 2006). It is situated in a heather- and forest-rich territory in the Veluwe region, east of the sandhills of the Kootwijkerzand and the town of Kootwijk.
The housing accommodations of Radio Kootwijk arose as a result of the building of a shortwave transmitter site with the same name, starting in 1918. The transmitters played an important role in the 20th century as a communication facility between the Netherlands and its then colony of Dutch East Indies. In 1923 Dutch PTT started trans-oceanic telegraphy using a longwave transmitter (a 400KW high frequency alternator) from the German Telefunken company under the callsign PCG, in the 24 kHz and 48 kHz. By 1925 the longwave transmitter was changed by a shortwave tube based, electronic transmitter which had a much better performance due to the better propagation of shortwaves. With this new technology, in 1928 a radio-telephonic connection was established. At the end of World War II, the German occupying forces blew up the transmitter. Afterward some of the radio towers were rebuilt.
Due to the development of new technologies like satellite communication, Radio Kootwijk lost its position as main overseas wireless connection point of the Netherlands. In 1980, the last transmission mast was blown up. In 2004 the park lost its last transmitter functions, and was transferred from the KPN company (successor to PTT) to the State Forestry Commission, which started attracting new buyers. The main building of the former transmitter park, designed by Dutch architect Julius Maria Luthmann and named 'Building A', 'The Cathedral' or sometimes 'The Sphynx', was officially appointed as a monument. It is used as venue and scenery for several cultural events and productions, including the American film Mindhunters in 2004.

From the Radio Kootwijk website:
"Welcome to Radio Kootwijk
The former radio station “Radio Kootwijk” is situated in the heart of the “Veluwe” centred in a wonderful natural reserve area. It is a unique establishment that is highly valued for its typical blend of scenery with cultural-historical and industrial-historical characteristics.
During WWI, an independent radio link with the Dutch Indies (former Indonesia) became increasingly important. For example all messages via the sea cable, were censured by the British during the war. The obtain independence in these communications, a large transmitter station was built in 1917, in the Malabar Gorge near Bandung on the island of Java. For the Dutch counterpart of this radio link, a suitable location was found on the sand dunes near the village of Kootwijk. Architect Luthmann made a complete design for this establishment. In 1920 the construction started for the actual transmitter building, which is entirely constructed from armoured concrete, a novelty in those days.
It is at the same time, in the early 1920’s, that the actual village “Radio Kootwijk” developed, involving a hotel, administrative buildings and some 40 residential houses for employees. At the present day this unique village with its 120 inhabitants looks back at a history of about 85 years.
The State owned Postal and Telegraph company (PTT) began utilising Radio Kootwijk in 1923 for long wave telegraph transmissions. The equipment was installed in Building A, which is also dubbed as “The Cathedral”. Within about five years, short wave radio signals were used for these transmissions because these were less vulnerable to atmospheric noise. The first actual radio communication with the Dutch Indies, started in 1928, with the historical words: “Hello Bandung, here Kootwijk”. These historical words. are still iconic for many Dutchmen nowadays.
After WWII, the gradually improving quality of sea cable connections saw a decline in the role of Radio Kootwijk as cornerstone for intercontinental telephone and telegraph communications. From 1970, Radio Kootwijk supported maritime communications for the “Radio Scheveningen” station, in particular for long-distance communication with vessels at large. Because of later technological developments such as satellite communication, Radio Kootwijk further lost its significance. Transmission stopped entirely in 1998.
In the mean time the state owned PTT-company had been privatised to the new KPN-company. In 1995 KPN sold the residential houses to the tenants as they wished, or otherwise to a private Real Estate management company. At the end of 2003, the entire area and remaining buildings were sold to the Dutch State and Radio Kootwijk permanently lost its capability for radio transmissions.
Most of the inhabitants of this unique village now, have an intimate relationship with its history and highly appreciate the quality of life it presents. There are concerns about the increasing number of visitors to the area as well as about the present-day ad hoc management of the remaining facilities.
Since recently, there is a “Plan of Attack” with a “Road to Restructuring” towards a new form of exploitation of the facilities at Radio Kootwijk. "

自宅で乗り回したのですが、どうも突き抜ける上浮いてらっしゃって可哀想な事に。
two reasons for this. it looks cool, and it shows the smeared radio tower lights and the stationary stars. makes me happy.
Radio Kootwijk is een voormalig zenderpark dat in de eerste helft van de 20ste eeuw een belangrijke communicatieverbinding vormde tussen Nederland en zijn toenmalige koloniën, met name Nederlands-Indië.
Het is ontworpen door de Amsterdamse architect Julius Luthmann (1890-1973). De architect, Julius Luthmann, heeft zich voor het ontwerp van het hoofdgebouw, Gebouw A, laten inspireren door een sfinx. De vorm van een sfinx is erin te herkennen; vanwege de vorm en grootte wordt het gebouw soms ook 'de kathedraal' genoemd.
If you look closely, you'll see this Reddish Egret is strapped with a radio transmitter on his back. By the end of my trip I noticed two different Reddish Egrets that were equipped with these trackers that frequented Ding Darling. (view large for best results)
El Radio City Music Hall es un teatro ubicado en el Rockefeller Center en la ciudad de Nueva York, Estados Unidos. Es considerado como el teatro más importante del país, fue inaugurado el 27 de diciembre de 1932 y en su escenario se presenta todos los años el "Radio City Christmas Spectacular" desde 1933.
Diseñado por Donald Deskey, el interior del teatro incorpora vidrio, aluminio, cromo y decoración geométrica. Deskey rechazó el decorado Rococó que se usaba generalmente en los teatros de esa época a favor de un estilo Art Deco muy propio de Nueva York. Radio City tiene 5.933 asientos para los espectadores. En el momento de su apertura era el teatro más grande.
El escenario mide 20 m de fondo y 44 m de ancho. Su sistema de grúas y poleas fue tan avanzado que la Marina de los Estados Unidos incorporó un sistema hidraúlico semejante en los portaaviones para la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
Los 49,000 m² del complejo en Midtown, Manhattan conocido como el Rockefeller Center fue construido entre 1929 y 1940 por John D. Rockefeller, Jr., en un terreno comprado a la Columbia University. Rockefeller planeó en un inicio construir una casa de opera en ese sitio, pero cambió de opinión tras la crisis de 1929. Uno de los primeros inquilinos del complejo fue RCA (The Radio Corporation of America). De ahí provienen los nombres Radio City y Radio City Music Hall.
El teatro tiene un grupo de bailarinas de music hall conocidas internacionalmente como The Rockettes.
El teatro también es conocido por el concierto realizado el 1 de Abril del año 2006 por la banda de Metal Progresivo Dream Theater.Realizaron un concierto llamado Score y será recordado por los fans como uno de los mejores espectáculos que esta íncreible banda haya realizado jamás.

From what i can tell the building to the left once was some kind of radio relay station. The antenna has fallen down and most of the equipment has been exposed to the ocean air for quiet a while.g

This is radio nowhere, is there anybody alive out there?

Is there anybody alive out there?
The other day, my husband and I took the dog out for her afternoon constitutional...we noticed that the sky was full of high clouds and figured that there was probably going to be some nice color at sunset. As soon as I finished dinner, I decided to run out and see what I could get.
I'd been meaning to try to shoot this old defunct radio station for a while. The sky did not disappoint! Too bad about the fencing, but I'm way too lazy to try and clone it out.
The little gray building behind the radio station is the "Fully Alive Community Church." Is this to distinguish it from the Undead Community Church...or to make sure those who are only partly alive don't come to service?
Back view of Gebouw A (Building A) also known as Radio Kootwijk or The Cathedral.
This 1920-1923 concrete art deco building was the main building of a vast radio transmitter site with the main purpose of keeping contact with the former Dutch colonies, specifically the East Indies.

I be on the hotline, like erryday
Makin’ sure the DJ know what I want him to play
You know I got my top back and my beat low-oh
Rockin’ my stunna shades and turnin’ up my radio-oh
Turn up my radio, radio, radio….
I think I’m in love with my radio
Cause it never lets me down
And I fall in love with my stereo

With the door closed we’d be alone
And mama never freaked out when she heard it go BOOM
‘Cause she knew we were in the zone
Hold him in my arms and look out of my window
(Under the moonlight)
And he be keepin’ me calm so I’d never let him go
He’s got a place in my heart
I think I’m in love with my radio

Whenever I hear that sound
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!)
Whenever I hear that sound
When I get into my car, turn it uh-up, uh-up
Then I hear vibrations all up in my truh-unk, uh-unk
And the bassline be rattlin’ through my see-eat, ee-eats
Then that crazy feeling starts happeni-ing- i-ing OH!
I get butterflies when I hear the DJ
(Playing the stuff I like)
And I fall deeper in love with every song he plays
He’s got a place in my heart…..
I think I’m in love with my radio
Cause it never lets me down
And I fall in love with my stereo
Whenever I hear that sound
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!)
Whenever I hear that sound
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!)

I be on the hotline, like erryday
Makin’ sure the DJ know what I want him to play
You know I got my top back and my beat low-oh
Rockin’ my stunna shades and turnin’ up my radio-oh
Turn up my radio
I think I’m in love with my radio
Cause it never lets me down
And I fall in love with my stereo
Whenever I hear that sound
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!)
Whenever I hear that sound
