=== Jan Mayen Radio ===
Jan Mayen Radio was a Norwegian coastal radio station on Jan Mayen. The first [[radiostation]] was built in 1921 on a part of the island called "Eldsmetten - Norwegian" on the eastern side of the Island. The radiostation consisted of a 3&nbsp;kW [[Telefunken]] [[spark-gap transmitter]] and a {{cvt|55|m|ft}} wooden radiomast. The station was destroyed by Norwegian forces in September 1940, and the crew was sent to [[Iceland]].

In 1941 a new [[radiostation]] was constructed on the western side of the island, it was moved to a [[plateau]] above. In 1962 this station was again moved to "Helenesanden - Norwegian" about {{cvt|3|km}} north from the [[Norwegian Armed Forces|Norwegian army]]'s [[LORAN]]-station.

In 1984 the station was moved to the Norwegian army's station. In 1989 there was an [[VHF]]-receiver installed, and later in October 1994 the local control of the radio station was terminated. Before the local control was terminated a MF-Digital-[[Selcall]]-receiver was installed and controlled remotely from Bodø-Radio.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2005-10-24 |title=JAN MAYEN HOMESITE, EDITED BY THE JAN MAYEN CREW |url=http://www.jan-mayen.no/kystradi.htm |access-date=2024-01-30 |archive-date=24 October 2005 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051024073646/http://www.jan-mayen.no/kystradi.htm |url-status=bot: unknown }}</ref> The station is still (Jan 2024) controlled remotely via [[satellite]], but can be taken in local control by a disconnection against Eik Satellite Earth Station in [[Rogaland]] [[Norway]].<ref>{{Citation |title=Jan Mayen radio |date=2022-05-05 |url=https://no.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jan_Mayen_radio&oldid=22556605 |work=Wikipedia |access-date=2023-03-13 |language=nb |archive-date=9 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231209120856/https://no.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jan_Mayen_radio&oldid=22556605 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Telenor Kystradio |url=https://www.kystradio.no/s/article/Infrastruktur?language=no |access-date=2023-03-13 |website=www.kystradio.no |archive-date=13 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230313171447/https://www.kystradio.no/s/article/Infrastruktur?language=no |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Nyheter |first=Jan Mayen |title=Nordlys og navigasjonssystem på Jan Mayen « Jan Mayen |url=https://jan.mayen.no/nyheter/nordlys-og-navigasjonssystem-pa-jan-mayen/ |access-date=2023-03-13 |language=nb-NO |archive-date=13 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230313171457/https://jan.mayen.no/nyheter/nordlys-og-navigasjonssystem-pa-jan-mayen/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
