The Egelsbach Transmitter Facility is a communication and SIGINT station in the USA in a forest clearing near the Hessian Egelsbach. The site is owned by the Wiesbaden headquarters of the U.S. Land Forces in Europe (7th U.S. Army).

LOCATION

The Egelsbach Transmitter Facility is located in a forest near Egelsbach near Frankfurt am Main. The site has been used by the US armed forces since the end of World War II. On an approx. 30 hectare open space there are operational buildings next to the antenna systems. The site is guarded by the U.S. military police and local guard services. The site is protected by barbed wire and a fence.

FURNISHING

There are 20 mostly log-periodic short-wave antennas (horizontally polarized) from TCI International on the site. In addition, there are now four radomes. There are microwave radio relay systems on a mast structure. Two microwave bowls point towards the former Rhein-Main Air Base.

While other US military facilities were shut down or reduced in the 2000s, expansion work was taking place on the Egelsbach Transmitter Facility. Another radome with an estimated five meters in diameter was created in 2011.

Generators for energy supply are available in underground systems. In addition, the facility had several bunkers on the neighboring area, which was also a restricted area, which have since been demolished. What was stored there is still unknown.
