Sud Radio Transmitter Pic Blanc
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sud Radio Transmitter Pic Blanc is a facility for high power medium wave broadcasting on the Pic Blanc, mountain at 1°45'W and 42°35'N. Sud Radio Transmitter Pic Blanc, situated on the 2650 metre high Pic Blanc mountain is the medium wave transmitter in Europe situated highest. It was built in 1972 and uses as antenna a directional antenna consisting of two free-standing 86 metre tall lattice towers. One of these towers is insulated against ground, while the other one is grounded and carries a cage aerial. The transmitter worked on 810 kHz with a power of 900 kilowatts. It was shut down in November 1981. As replacement, a small transmitter at Gauré near Touluse was built. Now the facility is abandoned. One of the both towers was partly dismantled.
