130412 Brocken
neill, 23:11h
While on a business trip to nearby Werdingerrode we took a trip on the Brocken Railway (http://www.hsb-wr.de/en/start/) to the top of the Brocken mountain pulled by a narrow gauge engine.
Many years ago when I was in the Royal Signals based in Germany we were always warned that the other side (Russians and East Germans) was sat on the Brocken listening to us.
We visited the building where they had all there listening equipment and the dome that the antennas were in. A quarter of a century ago I would never have believed I would be in the radio dome on the Brocken one day.
This picture was taken inside the dome.
