Longwave transmitter Beidweiler
The Beidweiler Longwave Transmitter is a high-power broadcasting transmitter for the French-speaking programme of RTL radio on the longwave frequency 234 kHz. The Beidweiler longwave transmitter, situated at 49°43'58" N and 6°19'08" E, at Beidweiler in Luxembourg, went in service in 1972 as replacement of the old Junglinster Longwave Transmitter.
The Beidweiler longwave transmitter uses a directional antenna consisting of three 290 metre tall guyed masts, each equipped with a cage antenna. The output of this antenna is mostly directed toward Paris.
The transmitter, which had at time of inauguration in 1972 a transmission power of 1400 kW, which was pushed up to 2000 kilowatts in 1974 belongs to the most powerful broadcasting stations in the world. In 1994 the transmitters of the facility were replaced by new devices of the type Thomson-Csf TRE 2175.
