Choragwica transmitter, Broadcasting tower in Mietniów, Poland.
The Choragwica transmitter is a 286-meter-tall broadcasting tower in Mietniów designed to distribute radio and television signals across a wide service area in southern Poland. The structure stands on elevated terrain, which helps extend signal coverage to distant locations.
The transmitter was installed on December 22, 1962, marking a major improvement in broadcasting reach for the region at that time. This facility brought modern media content to areas that were previously difficult to serve with radio and television signals.
The transmitter delivers radio and television programs to the region, helping people in remote areas stay connected with news and entertainment. Local and national broadcasters rely on its capacity to reach surrounding communities.
The elevated location provides better signal transmission over greater distances in the surrounding region. Visitors should know the tower is in an active broadcasting area and may only be observable from a distance for safety reasons.
The transmitter uses specialized antennas that broadcast horizontally polarized signals to achieve even coverage across the entire service area. This system was an advanced solution for its time to minimize reception problems in challenging terrain.
