December, 1980, film scan.
This was back in the day, a day when there were no CDs, computers, or mp3s. Just LPs and tape carts. The DJ (that's me) would cue up the next record by matching the end of one with the beginning of the next, similar to what is still done today at some clubs. We knew how to create the carts and promos, splice promo tapes, patch in live telephone calls, create seven second delays, and even operate the transmitter. To achieve this level of mastery one had to have enough technical knowledge to pass challenging FCC (Federal Communications Commission) written tests and then wait for approval. I took mine in a federal building on Varick Street in New York City.
And that's the way it was.
A visit to Ugchelen FM DAB+ Radio Broadcast Tower near Apeldoorn, the Netherlands. The tower has a height of 142 meter.
This fellow must have an amazing radio reception! I mean, look at those long antenna ^^
On a more serious note I think this is a nymph of the Great Green Bush Cricket but as usual with these animals...
Not 100% sure with the ID Help appreciated on that :)
Cheers everyone

Place: Radio Kootwijk [NL] Date: 11 juli 2016 Time: around 15:00
Designed by Amsterdam architect J.M. Luthmann.
The main transmission building, building A. Also known as the Cathedral.
During WWI, an independent radio link with the Dutch Indies (former Indonesia) became increasingly important. For example all messages via the sea cable, were censured by the British during the war. To obtain independence in these communications, a large transmitter station was built in 1917, in the Malabar Gorge near Bandung on the island of Java. For the Dutch counterpart of this radio link, a suitable location was found on the sand dunes near the village of Kootwijk. Architect Luthmann made a complete design for this establishment. In 1920 the construction started for the actual transmitter building, which is entirely constructed from armoured concrete, a novelty in those days.
It is at the same time, in the early 1920’s, that the actual village “Radio Kootwijk” developed, involving a hotel, administrative buildings and some 40 residential houses for employees. At the present day this unique village with its 120 inhabitants looks back at a history of about 90 years.
The State owned Postal and Telegraph company (PTT) began utilising Radio Kootwijk in 1923 for long wave telegraph transmissions. The equipment was installed in Building A, which is also dubbed as “The Cathedral”. Within about five years, short wave radio signals were used for these transmissions because these were less vulnerable to atmospheric noise. The first actual radio communication with the Dutch Indies, started in 1928, with the historical words: “Hello Bandung, here Kootwijk”. These historical words. are still iconic for many Dutchmen nowadays.
After WWII, the gradually improving quality of sea cable connections saw a decline in the role of Radio Kootwijk as cornerstone for intercontinental telephone and telegraph communications. From 1970, Radio Kootwijk supported maritime communications for the “Radio Scheveningen” station, in particular for long-distance communication with vessels at large. Because of later technological developments such as satellite communication, Radio Kootwijk further lost its significance. Transmission stopped entirely in 1998.

Radio Kootwijk stond al jaren op mijn Bucket-list en eindelijk is het er dan van gekomen.
Na anderhalf jaar weer een dagje weg met fotovrienden. Het "normale" leven begint langzaam weer realiteit te worden.
Het Art Deco gebouw van Julius Luthman is indrukwekkend, zowel van binnen als van buiten.
