        Superlatives

        The naval radio station is one of the tallest military structures in Western Europe and, at 352.8 meters, the second tallest structure in Germany, visible from over 30 kilometers away.

        The transmitter is located near Saterland-Ramsloh in the Cloppenburg district (Lower Saxony). The borders of the two districts of Cloppenburg and Leer run through the naval radio station site.

        Five antennas are located in East Frisia, and three are located in Cloppenburg.

        The site is surrounded by a 12-km-long, continuously monitored fence.

        A naval radio station with eight identical umbrella antennas mounted on 352.8-meter-high tubular steel masts.

        These masts have a diameter of 2.20 meters and wall thicknesses of 8 to 13 mm, depending on local loads.
