Lafayette transmitter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lafayette transmitter was a large facility used for transatlantic VLF-transmission at Marcheprime, Aquitaine, France. Lafayette transmitter used an antenna, which was carried by 8 250 metres tall lattice free-standing lattice towers with triangular cross section, which were the second tallest free-standing towers in France. In 1944 the installations of Lafayette transmitter were destroyed by the retracting German troops. The last of the towers were demolished in 1953.
