Gaisberg Transmitter, Broadcasting station on Gaisberg mountain near Salzburg, Austria.
The Gaisberg Transmitter is a radio and television broadcasting facility located on the mountain of the same name near Salzburg. The installation contains multiple antennas that distribute radio and television signals across a wide area in eastern Austria.
The facility began operations in 1956 as Austria's first major broadcasting installation after World War II. It replaced a temporary installation from 1953 that had limited transmission range and power.
The station broadcasts several radio channels including Österreich 1 and Radio Maria, shaping what people in the region hear and listen to daily. These programs have become part of everyday life for residents and families across the area.
Signals from this mountain station reach as far as Amstetten in the east and parts of southwestern Czech Republic, serving a large listening area. Visitors should check accessibility and timing with the facility operators, as the site may have restricted access.
The transmitter tower has housed a lightning research station operated by ALDIS since 1998, collecting data from direct lightning strikes. This research work takes advantage of the mountain's exposed location to gather important measurements.
