Therefore the antenna of Ehndorf transmitter consists of 2 masts. Both masts of Ehndorf transmitter are groundfed 65 metre tall lattice steel constructions guyed in one level.Because of its directional radiation pointing toward Nortwest, Ehndorf transmitter can be easily received in UK at night time.
