Short-wave transmitter PCJ Happy Station

Gericht antenne-systeem van der Phohizender te Huizen; de torens zijn draaibaar

The rotating antenna masts. Installed in 1937. The complex structure was unique in the world. It was capable of optimising radiation power to the desired target area. It consisted of two 60 metre high towers. In order to maintain minimum absorption the towers were built of wood. The platforms in the summit served as suspension for the antennas. In the direction of the beam, the radiation is a total of 24 times stronger than a simple dipole.
