Transmitter Szczecin-Kołowo

Szczecin-Kołowo Radio and Television Broadcasting Centre is a transmission facility for FM and TV situated at Szczecin/Kołowo in Poland. The antenna tower is a 267-metre-tall (876 ft) guyed mast. It is located at the highest point of a beech forest in Szczecin, and transmits several stations. It was

built in 1963. It has two antenna masts, which are 267 and 70 metres tall and are visible several kilometres away and hence a well-known local landmark. In the 1930s, an observation tower was put up. In 1963 a 228-metre mast for TV broadcasting was erected. It was raised a further 25 metres to carry antennas for directional radio services. In 1985 a new mast with a height of 267 m was built. The old mast was shortened in 1989 to 61 metres. (source: Polish text)
