Mainflingen longwave transmitter, Longwave transmission facility in Mainhausen, Germany
The Mainflingen transmission facility features multiple steel lattice masts ranging from 150 to 200 meters in height for broadcasting longwave signals.
The Mainflingen longwave transmitter began operations in 1956 and underwent substantial upgrades in 1962 to increase transmission power from 50 kW to 300 kW.
The facility broadcasts the DCF77 time signal service, which synchronizes numerous radio-controlled clocks and watches across Central Europe.
The transmission site occupies a secured area near the A3 motorway, with specialized antennas mounted on masts that are insulated from the ground.
A T-shaped antenna configuration in the southeast section utilizes two separate guyed masts to enhance signal distribution across the region.
