I'm slowly but surely realizing that Kalundborg has a lot more claims to fame than I used to know. I guess the infamous ferries between Aarhus and Kalundborg also attracted a lot of attention...

Like the oil refinery; Novo, which was a whole, mysterious city producing medicine; and not least Asnæsværket, Denmark's biggest power station. Those were the places appearing in the same sentences as higher cancer risk etc. No, the radio transmitter was a good thing. However, the reason why it was mentionen in the broadcasting media was more, like "...and now the trading prices for fish from Kalundborg medium- and longwave transmitter..." or "...kuling over fisker banke og hibriderne". Bonus info: The Kalundborg Transmitter is Denmark's most famous!

SORRY about that. The picture totally fooled me. But anyhow... makes me wonder whether there was also a "tranmitter-wave-scare" and fear of "radiance" for the people who lived nearby?

These days most high voltage electricity is placed underground due to the safety first-principle - for the people who live near it, and for the safe deliviery of power as cables under ground are better protected from storms. So now that wave-scare should be taken care of - and I guess Kalundborg is back to square one...left with "only" the cathedral to boast :-) I guess the “Kalundborg-waves” were often mentioned in the broadcastmedia due to the fear of high-voltage-electricity that has never been proved - but has never quite been cleared either.
