Transmitter Solt, Radio transmission station in Solt, Hungary
Transmitter Solt is a radio broadcasting facility in the Hungarian town of Solt with a guyed mast towering 303 meters high. The station uses high-powered equipment to transmit radio programs on medium wave frequency to listeners across a broad region.
The transmission station was built by Magyar Posta between 1974 and 1977 to solve radio coverage problems across the country. The project was part of a broader effort to strengthen communication infrastructure in Hungary during that period.
The station broadcasts programs that reach listeners across Hungary and neighboring regions, serving as a communication link for communities scattered across a wide area. Its signal has become part of the daily media landscape for millions of people.
The site sits in flat terrain where the tall antenna is clearly visible and recognizable from a distance. Visitors should keep in mind that the area requires safety clearances and may not be accessible at all times to the general public.
The mast is 303.6 metres tall and weighs 184.5 tonnes, standing on two cylindrical ceramic base insulators rated at 200 kV. Its vertical position is held by nine steel guy wires arranged in three rings at radii of 75, 155 and 250 metres. The tower has a regular triangular cross-section with 2.5-metre edges.
