Gramada, Bulgaria

Gramada (Bulgarian: Грамада, pronounced [ɡrɐˈmadɐ]; "heap, pile") is a town in northwestern Bulgaria, part of Vidin Province.

It is the administrative centre of the homonymous Gramada Municipality, which lies in the central part of Vidin Province.

East of Gramada there is a powerful medium-wave broadcasting station built in 1973 called Vidin transmitter.

For transmission on 576 kHz a 259-metre-tall (850 ft) guyed mast equipped with a cage antenna at its lower part is used.

For the transmission on 1224 kHz four guyed masts, insulated against ground, each equipped with a cage antenna, are used, which allows a switchable directional pattern.
