The Norwegian language contains the special letters Æ, Ø and Å. NOTE: The special letters found in Norwegian can also be found in some of the other Northern Germanic languages: Danish uses Æ, Ø and Å. Swedish uses Å, but not Æ or Ø. Norwegian also uses more E’s than Swedish, while Swedish uses more A’s instead. Norwegian uses “kk” where Swedish uses “ck”. Icelandic uses Æ, but not Ø or Å. Finnish uses Å, although it is viewed as a Swedish letter.

The backwards-facing antenna can be further divided into smaller areas based on the type of wire present on the bar. The following are the four most important ones and not a comprehensive list. No wire at all in the northwest. A wire that loops around the bar is found around Al Suwayq. A wire that follows the bar is found further west. A small looping wire in front of the bar is mainly in the east. The black regions indicate roads where the car is mostly or entirely blurred, meaning the wire won’t be visible.
