Radio tower Berlin Wannsee needs a heading adjustment


Recommended Posts

Posted

Ugra did a visually great reproduction of the Schäferberg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernmeldeturm_Berlin

While Ugra even did care to represent an angular offset between the field antennas on the top and the parabolic antennas at the base, the entire tower now only requires a 56° clockwise increase of its heading to be accurate.

The 2 parabolic antennas should be facing the Torfhaus station, west of the Brocken/Harz. Unfortunately this end of this radio link isn't represented yet.
The red/white checkered field antennas require the 56° heading increase as well, as they should be faced towards Gartow.

The smaller lattice tower next to it with the 2 small parabolic antennas also requires this heading correction.

These radio links ensured telephone links and TV signal transfer from West Germany to West Berlin.

 

The GDR's Staatssicherheit put up listening posts along these direct links to monitor the telephone transmissions to West Berlin.
