Blosenbergturm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Blosenbergturm is a transmitting tower in Beromünster, Canton of Lucerne, Switzerland, built in 1937 for the German language radio station DRS and sending at an AM frequency of 531 kHz. The Blosenbergturm has a height of 217 m and is a self-radiating tower insulated against ground, i.e. the entire tower structure is used as an antenna. It has a cabin at a height of 150 m, containing electrical equipment to supply the tower with high frequency power. The first Beromünster tower was built in 1931, but was soon replaced by the current tower. There is a second 126 metre tall freestanding lattice tower nearby, which is as Blosenbergturm a tower radiator insulated against ground. This tower carryed until 1962 together with a second tower, which was dismantled and rebuilt in St. Chrischona near Basel as TV transmission tower, a T-antenna for medium wave. After dismantling the second tower it was transformed in a tower radiator, which serves now as backup transmission for the Blosenbergturm.
