The function of this beacon is not immediately clear to me. I got no further than: primarily supports air navigation in the Bremen/Hamburg/Bremerhaven region of northern Germany. It is not aligned with any of the runways.
NDB WSN Weser located between Bremen and Hamburg (Skyvector)
The beacon can be observed from some distance at Google Streetview, south of Holste.
A beautiful eQSL from Radio Sylvia, Hamburg, broadcasting via Channel 292, Rohrbach on 6070 kHz. It’s not a program that is heard every week, but if it is on it is definitely worth listening to as they play music which is a bit different from the main stream. Or as they say it themselves:
The station started broadcasting back in 1977 as a pirate. We were active for many years on FM, medium wave and shortwave. In 1984 Radio Sylvia was raided by the German authorities and we were sentenced to heavy fines. After that we changed our name to Radio Scorpio and were relayed on a regular basis by Belgian, Scottish and Irish shortwave stations.
In 2009 we restarted Radio Sylvia as an internet station. We are now broadcasting 24/7 with studios located in Hamburg, Germany. In addition to our online activities, shortwave transmissions are conducted as well on every first Saturday of a month on 6070 kHz from 18:00 to 24:00 CET and on 3955 kHz from 18:00 to 20:00 CET. So we hope you’ll tune in again on 7th September.
Our aim has always been (and still is) to provide a musical alternative to the “official” pop music radio stations. We focus on non-mainstream music and also support little-known bands and artists worldwide.
