Sender Ederkopf, Communication tower in Netphen, Germany.
Sender Ederkopf is a concrete transmission tower standing on the Oberste Henn mountain that reaches approximately 161 meters in height. Located at around 676 meters above sea level, the tower broadcasts digital radio signals to the surrounding mountainous region.
The concrete tower was constructed in 1981 by Westdeutscher Rundfunk and began broadcasting in November 1982. Since its operation began, it has continuously transmitted radio signals to the region.
The transmitter distributes radio programs that reach people across the region daily and has become a recognizable landmark in the local landscape. It serves as a visible connection between the community and the broadcasts they hear at home and in their cars.
The tower's antenna system is specifically designed to spread signals effectively across the hilly mountain terrain. Visitors should know that the location is exposed to weather, and wind conditions tend to be stronger here.
The antenna design uses directional characteristics to focus signals specifically over the Rothaar Mountains rather than radiating in all directions. This targeted approach helps reach the scattered mountain villages across the region more effectively.
