Hoher Meissner transmitter
Encyclopedia
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 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 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 51°12′26.3"N 9°50′51.5"E is used.
Further there is at 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.
