Orlunda radio transmitter

Near Orlunda at Motala in Sweden the Swedish Broadcasting from 1962 ran until 1991, the long-wave transmitter Orlunda, which used as a transmitting antenna, an arrangement consisting of a 250 -meter-high central mast and five drawn up in a circle 200 feet high masts, all of which were isolated from Earth Ground and were fed at the base, where the feeding of the central mast and the radial masts was carried out of phase. They reached with this arrangement a very effective shrinkage -reducing transmitting antenna for long wave. In July of 1970 the central mast was destroyed as a result of a lightning strike the Fußpunktisolator, whereupon he collapsed. In 1991, the transmission has stopped and 1994/1995 removed the last two transmitter masts.

At the site of the former central mast is now a 86.4 meter high guyed mast for mobile.
