SV1XV's photos

This electronic reconnaissance station will be currently modernized. The previous and old system OMEGA is replaced by a new one. Not all of the visible antennas are still in operation and they will be removed sometime. The inside of this facility is top secret. The data is transmitted via fiber optic cable to Dübendorf. Often, a hiker will have wondered about the meaning of this station with the many antennas. Nevertheless, there are almost no pictures of this station on the Internet. (classified / no geotags).

This small fire engine is a Mercedes-Benz Vario 815D with a capacity of 1000 lit. of water. The Greek Fire Service frequently deploys type A fire engines to patrol in urban sectors away from fire stations, so they can arrive quickly at the site of a fire.

The certificate of my 50 MHz Squares award #133, issued by the Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB) in 2002. You see I have always been a fan of collecting locator squares, the hard thing on VHF is securing QSL and/or LoTW confirmations...
