Junglinster Longwave Transmitter

Its aerial consists of three free-standing steel-framework towers, which are ground fed radiators.

These towers formed a directional aerial for the frequency 234 kHz and until 1980 were 250 metres high.

It was discovered that its signal can under some conditions show cross modulation with other radio stations by ionospheric reflection.

Transmitting on 6090 kHz, it is of special interest as it was (until the 80s) one of the best known radio stations in Germany and several radio sets had a special switch for its reception, the so-called "Luxembourg"-switch.

Today this transmitter works in DRM mode.
