Hindenburg Radio Room

The radio room of the zeppelin Hindenburg was located in the hull of the ship, just above the control car, and contained both long wave and short wave radios of 200 watts.

The Hindenburg's radio call sign was "DEKKA".

A very complete description of the zeppelin can be found at the Hindenburg website, including information about the radio room, and technical details about the Hindenburg's radio equipment can be found at the Antique Radios website.

The Hindenburg's chief radio operator was Willy Speck, who died in the crash at Lakehurst in 1937.
