RÜGEN RADIO GERMAN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICFrom 1972
Another Utility station from yesteryear, recorded towards the end of 1972. This coastal maritime station has an interesting history, overseeing ship-to-shore communications in waters controlled by the then-German Democratic Republic. You can read more about this station at the German Wikipedia site - Google Translate does a good job of changing into English (or many other languages). Check it out at: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rügen_Radio
Here is my video recording:
Interesting Trivia!
While researching this station, I stumbled across an old movie called Seilergrasse 8, a crime drama released in 1960. Here is an excerpt from the movie focusing on an action scene, supposedly at Rügen Radio. Total fiction, of course....but the radio gear is fun to look at!! Can anyone identify these radios?
Rügen Radio closed its operations in 1998.
