Hoher Meissner transmitter

Hoher Meissner transmitter is a facility for mediumwave, FM- and TV-broadcasting on Hoher Meissner mountain in Northern Hesse. Hoher Meissner transmitter was inaugurated in 1951.For the mediumwave transmission of Hoher Meissner transmitter from 1951 to 1995 a 150 metre tall guyed steel-tube mast radiator insulated against ground was used. In 1995 this mast was replaced by a 155 metre tall guyed lattice steel mast at coord|51|12|34|N|9|50|45|E|. In opposite to the old mast radiator, this tower is grounded and equipped with a cage antenna for mediumwave.At coord|51|12|29.6|N|9|50|42.3|E| there is also a 95 metre tall guyed steel-tube mast radiator. This mast was first used to form together with the 150 metre tall steel-tube mast radiator as a directional antenna with a minimum pointing toward Sweden and as backup antenna. Today it is only used for the latter purpose as the Hoher Meissner mediumwave transmitter, which forms together with Weiskirchen transmitter a single frequency transmitter, can be operated permanently with omnidurectional radiation pattern.For the FM- and TV-transmissions of Hoher Meissner transmitter a 220 metre tall guyed lattice steel mast with a weight of 180 tons at coord|51|12|26.3|N|9|50|51.5|E| is used. Further there is at coord|51|12|25|N|9|50|46|E| a 40 metre tall free-standing lattice towers at Hoher Meissner transmitter, which is used for mobile radio services and which is equipped with a backup antenna for FM-transmissions.
