Aside from being used to install decoys for anti-radiation missiles, I really have no idea what other uses these towers have. These towers are expensive, not to mention installing them on top of such a high mountain. (Avg. 5,500 m ASL) #PLAAF #PLAWTC #Xizang #Tibet #西藏

Replying to @pir34
I didn't realize it was much bigger than I had imagined until I saw the photo taken from this angle. To receive extremely weak signals propagating through tropospheric scattering, you need lots of antenna gain, so using larger antennas is unavoidable. #YLC20

CETC YLC-20 passive detection system. What a change, or did someone make a mistake? #Radar

By adding add'l 3 long wave timing station in the west*, China has completed a nation-wide eLORAN coverage, a system that can be used as a backup of GNSS (GPS, Beidou), & it makes the country's total number of eLORAN station to 10. #PLAWTC now fully covered. #eLORAN #GNSS #PNT

This is the 11th similar site I've found along the China-India border so far. Perhaps it's not a sensor site as I previously thought, but a site for ground control? #Zhada #Zanda #Xizang #Tibet #Ladakh

We are preparing the "Frequency Handbook for Radio Monitoring HF 2026". It will be available end of June in time for the Ham Radio 2026 in Friedrichshafen. We have expanded the contents with thousands of NDB frequencies. Of course it will be available as epub also. Stay tuned!

Tianwen-2 is a Chinese asteroid sampling mission. Asteroid 469219 Kamo'oalewa Orbit insertion is planned for June 7, 2026. 📡〰️Received with our 20m @SternwarteBO #Tianwen2 #Asteroid

With the 25m Dwingeloo radio telescope, we just tracked #Tianwen-2 on X-band. It was at an offset of 1.1 degrees from asteroid Kamo'oalewa, which it is going to visit. We recorded IQ data, maybe others can decode this (@ea4gpz, @r2x0t, @aang254?). Data at data.camras.nl/satellites/ra….
