According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longwave , there is a 300 metres tall radio mast at Logroño, which is used for longwave broadcasting on 207 kHz. As I kno, there is and was never a longwave broadcasting station in Spain although there are some frequiencies coordinated. Does this transmitter really exist or is this a fake!

Habla de una antena de comunicaciones en Logroño de 300m de alto segun la wikipedia que se utiliza para la difusión de onda larga en 207 kilociclos,y en Españ no hay emisoras que emitan asi, y se pregunta si exite realmente o no.

Yo no conozco la zona por lo que no puedo decir ni si ni no y por internet no encuentro nada.

pero tiene pinta de que la fuente de esta página es wikipedia o viceversa (solo cambia la propietaria de la antena):

279 kHz Cadena SER España Logroño Antena direccional, torre de 300 m. >100 kW

^^Cadena SER, Radio Rioja. Emite en 1179 y no en 279. En España no hay emisoras de OL, aunque RNE sí tiene reservadas frecuencias.

The MW stations in the area are Radio Rioja, one of the stations of Cadena SER, in 1179, Radio Nacional de España in 729 and Radio 5 Todo Noticias in 1107.

Is there any possibility of the transmitter you mention being prepared for LW?

Yep, there are two antennas here. I don't know how tall they are but no way they are 300 m. Location: 42.442815, -2.512106.

Sí, hay un par de antenas aquí, aunque no sé su altura seguro que no llegan a 300 m. Localización: 42.442815, -2.512106.

OK, I tried to measure it with a CAD program. The small line on the door is 1.83 mm long, the antenna is 78.95.

Considering that the door could be as much as 2.3 m tall, the antenna would be about 99 meters tall. If it was 300 m tall, the door would be almost 7 m tall, which I highly doubt.

^^¿Están en una zona que se llama La Grajera? Entonces son de RNE.

Ah, pues sí. Pero en Logroño no hay más, que yo sepa. Y no me suena nada de que haya ninguna antena de 300 metros por el resto de La Rioja. Si así fuera sería de las estructuras más altas de España. Tal vez 300 metros sobre el nivel del mar :lol:

As far as I know, there are no more antennas in Logroño. There are a few more in the rest of the province (La Rioja), but I don't think any of them reaches 300 m. Maybe 300 metres above the sea level :lol:

No sé si hay antenas de semejante altura en Logroño...

En Barcelona está la torre de norman foster que roza los 290 metros, es la única que se me ocurre ahora mismo.
