Raszyn radio transmitter

The longwave transmitter Raszyn is a longwave broadcasting transmitter near Raszyn, Poland. It was built in 1931 and rebuilt in 1949. The designer of the mast is unknown. It has been claimed that the rebuilt tower consists of sections from the radio mast of former Deutschlandsender Herzberg/Elster; however, there is no proof of this theory. The mast of the Raszyn longwave transmitter was, at inauguration, the second-tallest man-made structure on earth and until 1962, with a height of 335 metres (1, 099 feet), the tallest structure in Europe. The tower's height is 1,099 feet (335 meters). The transmitter was, until the inauguration of Warsaw radio mast in Konstantynów, the central longwave broadcasting facility of Poland. Since 1978 from this facility during daytime a second program in the longwave range was transmitted on AM-LW (long wave)198 kHz/1,515 meters (formerly the frequency was used by Polskie Radio Parlament). After the collapse of Warsaw radio mast in 1991 this facility was used until the inauguration of the new longwave-transmitter Solec Kujawski for transmissions of the first program of the Polish Broadcasting Service on AM-LW (longwave) 225 kHz/1,333 meters. Because it has never been possible to transmit from Raszyn on both longwave frequencies of the Polish Broadcasting Company simultaneously due to its orientation towards the east and risk of interference, no tra
