LORAN-C transmitter Jan Mayen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The LORAN-C transmitter Jan Mayen is a LORAN-C transmission facility on the island of Jan Mayen at 70°54'51″N, 8°43'57" W( ).. The LORAN-C transmitter Jan Mayen uses as antenna a 190-metre high (625ft) guyed mast. This mast was built as replacement of a 190.5 metre tall mast, which collapsed in a storm on October 8th, 1980 as the result of too low tension on the guy wires. The guywires were adjusted by personell from the USCG who mixed up pounds and kilograms.
