Thurnau transmitter is a mediumwave transmitter working on 549 kHz with 100 kW south of Thurnau, a town in Northern Bavaria, Germany. It uses as antenna a 240 metres high guyed mast insulated against ground. The mast is electrically enlengthened as the guys of the upper level are connected directly toward the mast and divided by an intermediate insulator.

The two 120 metres of Heusweiler transmitter. The mast on the right is a mast radiator insulated against ground, the mast on the left is equipped with a cage antenna on the lower part similiar to the ARRT-antennas realized in Ukraine.
The wires of the cage antenna, which are triple conductors are fixed with insulators designed for 110 kV at the two upper rings, which are fixed at the mast. The lowest ring is the collector of the cage antenna and fixed with insulators at three steel poles.

Heusweiler transmitter is a very powerful mediumwave broadcasting station at Heusweiler north of Saarbrücken in Germany. It actually broadcasts on 1422 kHz with 400 kW and 1179 kHz with 10 kW.
Until Mid of 1990ies the transmitter used a power of 1200 kW at daytime. The heat generated by the transmitter was used for heating a ( now closed) indoor swimming pool!
Over the nearby motorway shielding wires were spun, in order to protect vehicles from high power transmitter radiation. Interestingly a bridge over the motorway open for cars is not shielded.
Heusweiler transmitter has 3 masts: 2 with a height of 120 metres used for broadcasting on 1422 kHz and a 50 metres high mast used for broadcasting on 1179 kHz.
The 50 metres high mast and the western 120 metres high mast are insulated against ground. The eastern 120 metres high mast was also insulated, but is now grounded and equipped with a cage antenna.
