Faust » The Brocken The Brocken, or Blocksberg, is the highest peak (1142 metres) in the Harz Mountains in Germany (located between the rivers Weser and Elbe) and also the highest peak of northern Germany. The mean annual temperature is only 2.9 °C. The Brocken has always played a role in legends and has been connected with witches and devils; Goethe took up the legends in his Faust, in which he also referred to the mountain.

[No title] The station is equipped with a 90 metre antenna and a 10 kW transmitter.

Professional Surveyor Magazine The first wireless longitude measurement was probably made between Potsdam and Brocken, in Germany, a distance of about 100 miles. With the opening of the U.S. Navy's powerful transmitter at Arlington and the success of Continental longitude connections, the idea of a trans-Atlantic longitude connection inevitably followed. The Navy's Annual Report for the Fiscal Year 1914 reported a difference of longitude of 5h 17m 36.658 s and a velocity of 175,000 miles per second for the Hertzian waves. www.profsurv.com /newpsm/archive.php?issue=96&article=1359   (1667 words)
