567 Cape Talk Station
identification
|
The mediumwave facility is situated on relatively high ground clear of mountains and has long been the preferred site for a radio transmitter and antenna system.
Marconi erected 245 meter high radio masts at Klipheuwel in 1923. This was part of a plan to establish long-wave radio links between London and the entire British Empire.
"567 Cape Talk" commenced broadcasting just over 13 years ago on the 14th October 1997.
