Suchá Hora transmitter, Television tower in District of Žiar nad Hronom, Slovakia.

Sendeanlage Sucha Hora is a 302-metre guyed tubular steel mast on the 1,231-metre Skalka hill in the Kremnica Mountains, built by Tesla Hloubětín and anchored by cables in six levels. A service lift runs inside to 247 metres, and a separate steel telecommunications building stands beside the mast.

The transmitter was built in 1960 by workers of the national enterprise Tesla Hloubětín and went into service on 28 October 1960, replacing the TV transmitter on Krížná. In 1961 a gale blew the roof off the transmitter building, and in 1962 a seven-tonne antenna assembly coated in ice fell from the top into the snow. It served as a main television transmitter until 2011, when analogue TV broadcasting ended.

The mast was made and assembled by workers of the national enterprise Tesla Hloubětín. Its signal reaches far beyond the main coverage area of Pohronie and Horehronie, and can be received in Tekov, Hont, parts of Novohrad and Malohont, as well as in Považie, Kysuce, Orava, Liptov, Hungary and parts of Moravia.

The mast stands on Skalka hill at 1,231 m, 9 km northeast of Kremnica via road II/578 toward the Skalka recreation area. Marked hiking trails also reach it from Malý Šturec saddle, Zlatá studňa and Banská Bystrica. The tower area is an operating facility, so visitors stay on the marked paths.

The mast's high radiated power and elevation let its signal reach Tekov, Hont, parts of Novohrad and Malohont, the Považie, Kysuce, Orava and Liptov, and even into Hungary and parts of Moravia. Its antennas sit at 230 m on the mast, at 1,461 m above sea level.
