Gaisberg Transmitter

Gaisberg Transmitter

Gaisberg Transmitter is a facility for FM and TV-transmission on the Gaisberg mountain near Salzburg, Austria. It was the first large sender in Austria finished after the war and started its work on 22nd August 1956 (however, a provisional sender already broadcasted a VHF radio programme since 1953 with 1kW). It used as antenna tower a 73 metre high lattice tower and broadcasted the 1st radio programme on 99.0MHz and the 3rd radio programme on 94.8 MHz, each with 50 kW, as well as a TV programme on channel 8 with 60/12 kW (picture/sound). During the 1980s an UHF antenna was put on top of the tower bringing its height to 100 meters.

The ALDIS (Austrian Lightning Detection & Information System) maintains the "Austrian Lightning Research Station Gaisberg" next to the transmitter [http://www.aldis.at/research/projects.html] .
