I had hoped they would have shut down this power house - unfortunately  
I'm very near to it. However, they are about to replace their old  
transmitter(s) soon. And, keep an ear on 630 - they plan to revive  
this frequency as well from this same site 15km east of Braunschweig.  
756 khz will have 2x100 kw and 630 100/20 kw. I do not know if they  
will use it for DLF anymore and why they need two frequencies - it is  
just to keep them alive.
