Longwave transmitter Solec Kujawski

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Longwave transmitter Solec Kujawski is the new longwave broadcasting facility of the Polish broadcasting company for the 225 kHz frequency. Its construction was necessary after the collapse of the Warsaw radio mast on August 8, 1991 and the resistance of the local population to its reconstruction. The transmitter was built in 1998/99 on a former military area near Solec Kujawski. The transmitter in this facility has a power of 1000 kilowatts and is equipped with MOSFET amplifiers. The carrier frequency is, as in earlier days in the transmitter Konstantynow, generated by an atomic clock. It uses a directional aerial, consisting of a 330 metre (1083 feet) high and a 289 metre (948 feet) high guyed grounded mast 330 metres apart. The 330-metre mast is Poland's eighth tallest construction.

Geographical coordinates of 330 metre mast: 53°01′22″N, 18°15′40″E
Geographical coordinates of 289 metre mast: 53°01′14″N, 18°15′51″E

Furthermore there is a freestanding lattice tower close to the station building that is used for directional radio links, which serve among others for passing the program to the station.
