Bod Transmitter
The Bod Transmitter (also known as the Brașov Transmitter) is the name of the transmitter facility for the central longwave radio station near Bod, Romania.
The transmitter was designed by the engineer Gheorghe Cartianu-Popescu and built in 1933–34. At the time it was one of the tallest structures in Europe. The transmitter—the first longwave radio station in Eastern Europe—was inaugurated in the presence of Guglielmo Marconi.[1]
The Bod Transmitter currently operates on a frequency of 153 kHz with an output power of 1,200 kW (although this value may not be used). It uses as its antenna a T-antenna hung up on two 250 metres (820 feet) tall guyed masts.
