The Deutschlandsender III was a 500 kilowatt longwave transmitter, erected in 1938/39 near Herzberg, Brandenburg in Germany. Used for the ''Deutschlandsender'' radio broadcasts, the guyed mast reaching a height of was the tallest construction in Europe and the second tallest in the world. Construction The Deutschlandsender III used a tall guyed steel lattice mast of triangular cross section. This was used as a mast radiator and was therefore mounted on a high steatite insulator. At the top of the mast there was a lens-like electrical lengthening structure with a diameter of and a height of . Because the mast was under high voltage during transmission, the aircraft warning lighting was realized in a very unconventional manner. On small poles near the mast multiple rotating searchlights were mounted which illuminated the lens-like structure on the top. It was planned to expand the facility to a circle group antenna. Therefore, ten tall masts should be built on a circle with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
