Grimeton Radio Station
This panorama is made of 14 different images on the height. The images was taken without a tripod, therefore Photoshop didn't match them perfectly. The original Photoshop images was 6GB and was not even accepted as a TIFF so I had to resize it a little bit....
Grimeton Radio Station was in 2004 inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Swedish-American Ernst Alexanderson had developed a technology for wireless telegraphy which came to be used at the radio station in Grimeton. Today, the long-wave transmitter at Grimeton Radio Station, with its alternator and multiple antenna, is unique as the only surviving radio station from the time before radio tubes for high power.
During the Second World War 1939-1945, the radio station in Grimeton experienced a heyday, when it was Scandinavia’s gateway to the outside world. Cable connections had once again been quickly destroyed by nations at war and the wireless telegraph was a link to the world.
Grimeton Radio Station is now the only station left in the once transatlantic network of nine long wave stations that were built during the years 1918-1924, all equipped with the technology that was constructed by Ernst Alexanderson. Alexanderson’s long-wave technology from the 1920’s is still fully operational, and is used on special occasions every year.
