From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
RKS Liblice 2 is a broadcasting facility for medium wave located in the Czech Republic about 33 km east of Prague near Liblice at . RKS Liblice 2 transmits on 639 kHz with a power of 1500 kilowatts. It uses as antenna two 355 metre high guyed masts of lattice steel, at which cage aerials are mounted. These masts, which were built in 1975/76 are the tallest structures in Czech and perhaps the tallest towers used for medium wave broadcasting.
On August 27th, 2005 a skydiver jumped illegally from one of the masts. His parachute got hung on a backstage insulator. Fortunately it was dry weather and he did not got too close to the cage antenna of the tower, otherwise he would have burned by high frequency currents to dead.
