Issoudun transmitter, Radio transmission facility in Saint-Aoustrille and Neuvy-Pailloux, France
The transmission center features over 50 broadcasting antennas, including 12 rotating structures that reach 80 meters in height and span 60 meters in width.
The facility began operations in 1950 with Center A, followed by Centers B and E, marking France's commitment to international shortwave broadcasting after World War II.
The antennas bear names of major rivers like Ganges, Volga, and Mekong, reflecting their capability to transmit radio signals across different global regions.
The center broadcasts programs from international stations including Radio France Internationale, Voice of America, and NHK to reach audiences across multiple continents.
The transmission site maintains a museum managed by ACHDR that preserves French broadcasting heritage, including equipment dating back more than 60 years.
