Indeed, why so?
Hello Carl. Reason is that the building was handed over from Telia, the
largest telecom operaor in Sweden, to the local municipality. The SK0CC
club station is now located at Telia HQ in Stockholm, but no huge antenna
anymore … 73 de Kjell, SM0FOB
why was it taken down? will it be replaced? a video with the story behind
this vid would be nice.
Believe it or not, that brought tears to my eyes…..great!
No, it was given away to the Swedish Army. For refurbishment an enormous
crane used to be used. De Kjell, SM0FOB
i can’t afort it. do not have the place to put it. expensive rotor, a house
away from neighbors, wow!! still i droll looking at this giant!!!.im sure
somebody is using it right now!!!!
Farewell, my dear LP! Many years ago I used it too – first ever time with
Russian ham callsign from Swedish territory. It was great time of free
Russia! Rest in peace, wonderful antenna, on dusty tower of miscellanious
dull military junk.
@Number6oftheBoys Thank you very much for your nice words. They made my
day. 73 de Kjell
Brings a tear to my eye. I hate seeing a station go QRT.
I think it is probably being serviced so they had the helo come collect it
to refurbish the antenna I run a log periodic myself (not quite as large as
that one) 10 elements 7-30Mhz They are second to none! peace 🙂
Was it ever replaced? Do you know why/what happened to it?
What a pity they uncrowned a queen .
@MrJohnnyrace O mio babbino caro (Oh my dear papa) is an aria from the
opera Gianni Schicchi (1918), by Giacomo Puccini, to a libretto by
Giovacchino Forzano. My favourite artist for this aria is Sissel Kyrkjebö.
