Found on Google Earth --- While wandering about Iceland looking for the erupting volcano, I found this. Could this be the transmitting antenna for Iceland's LW station on 189 kHz? (Mike Bugaj-CT-USA, WTFDA-AM via dxld Mar 26) If the coordinates on this picture are correct, it doesn't match either the 198 site in Gufuskalar or the 207 site on the east coast of Iceland. Maybe a LORAN mast? (Scott Fybush-NY-USA, ibid. dxld Mar 26) Glenn, I am still digging, but it's not Loran (the 189 kHz site is the former Loran site, repurposed by Harris Corp. with help from us; the 207 kHz is a newly established site as a part of the same project, also our design), and it's not Omega, and those coordinates don't match any Decca sites. I have some reference to a "1000 footer" in Iceland in some project correspondence about impedance calculations for various low frequency and VLF sites, but my data doesn't include a location. But I think it's the Navy Keflavik LF (37.5 kHz) and it was built in 1993 or so, but is supposedly 13 km from the former Keflavik NAS, which is in southern Iceland. It doesn't look like it's toploaded, but it does have insulators in the guys, so is some sort of MF, LF or VLF installation. But I'm unable to identify it.
