LYNGBY RADIO – OXZ

Source: wikipedia

Lyngby Radio (call sign OXZ) is a Danish coast radio station, operating on MF, HF and VHF. Lyngby Radio stopped HF service on 1 October, 2009. Earlier, Lyngby Radio was one out of four Danish coast radio stations, the others being Skagen Radio, Blåvand Radio and Rønne Radio. All these stations are now remote controlled from Lyngby Radio.

Sailing in the North Atlantic waters a large part of R/O’s surely entered in touch with OXZ at least to request the pilot for acrossing the Strait of Belt (between Atlantic and Baltic Sea) looking into my personal archive I found a copy of a radiotelegramm I sent to Lynbgy Radio to request the Pilot for transiting the strait.

The Danish straits are the three channels connecting the Baltic Sea to the North Sea through the Kattegat and Skagerrak. They transect Denmark, and are not to be confused with the Denmark Strait between Greenland and Iceland. The main one is:

Great Belt, Danish: Storebælt

The Great Belt is the largest and most important of the three Danish Straits that connect the Baltic Sea to the Kattegat strait and Atlantic Ocean. The others are the Øresund and the Little Belt straits.

The Great Belt is 60 km (37 miles) long and 16–32 km (10–20 miles) wide. It flows around two major islands: Samsø in the north and Langeland to the south. At Sprogø the Great Belt divides into the East Channel and the West Channel. Both are traversed by the Great Belt Bridge, but a tunnel also runs under the East Channel.
