![]() "Jiri Placek" wrote in message oups.com... A month ago I toured Eben Emael, a late 1930's Belgian fortress above the Maas river near Maastricht. The fortress is famous for the daring surprise attack that disabled its guns within 20 minutes and made it surrender the next day. I will not go to the details here, the Eben Emael Association has a site www.fort.eben-emael.be, there are good descriptions in other Google groups (search Eben Emael in Google groups) as well as a good description of the tour (search Eben Emael Hankinson in Google Groups). That's http://www.fort-eben-emael.be/ . Interesting site and story. |

It was decommisioned just recently, as they use different wavelengths for communications now. It was indeed for communications with subs around the world - my boss was a CMPO on a series of nuclear subs from 1967-1997, and can talk at length about the ELF system. The antenna wasn't underground. They had problems with woodpeckers drilling nests in the wooden poles that it was mounted on. There was also a scientific study that found that trees growing near the antenna were bigger than those further away. They concluded that it was a small amount of RF heating that helped the trees grow right at the beginning of spring. Tells you something about the weather on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
