Jeløy Radio

Jeløy Radio, located on the picturesque Jeløya peninsula in Moss Municipality, Norway, is a historic radio station that played a crucial role in maritime communication. Established in the early 20th century, it evolved from military wireless telegraphy to a vital coast radio station, connecting Norway with the world. At its peak in the 1950s, Jeløy Radio facilitated point-to-point communications with cities as far as Japan and South America. Today, it operates as an unstaffed station, providing marine VHF radio services and Navtex, while its former operations building has been transformed into a hotel, offering visitors a unique glimpse into Norway's communication history.
