At the end of the 1970s the tower was completely renovated and its radio equipment modified.
An underground equipment room for radiotechnical equipment was built, and a new tower was constructed, adjoining the older tower.
Built between autumn 1980 and December 1982, it is twenty three metres high, constructed from steel and concrete, and carrying a forty metre high aerial mast with FM- and TV-aerials on its top.
