Description • It is the 2nd tallest structure in Europe.
• In September 1967 meteorological equipment was installed on its top whereby its height increase.
• Between October 2009 and April 2010, this antenna was replaced by a new antenna for Digital Television Broadcasting. As such an antenna is heavier
