Domžale radio transmitter, Broadcasting facility in Domžale, Slovenia.
The Domžale radio transmitter is a steel tower with guy wires that rises 161 meters high from a location at 292 meters elevation above sea level. The facility was designed for medium wave broadcasting on 918 kHz and operated for many decades.
The station began operating in September 1928 with a modest 2.5-kilowatt transmitter and was significantly expanded in the following years. This technical upgrade allowed the facility to send stronger signals across greater distances.
The name comes from Domžale, the town where it sits in the Save valley. For generations, the tower marked the presence of radio broadcasting in this part of Slovenia.
The transmitter is visible from ground level throughout the Domžale area and can be spotted from several locations around town. The best view of the structure comes from open spots nearby when weather conditions are clear.
The first broadcast in 1928 featured literary content from notable Slovenian writers and marked the start of a new chapter in the nation's cultural history. This made the facility an important place for spreading knowledge and art.
