The Gufuskálar is a 412 metre high guyed radio mast used for longwave broadcasting (fformer for LORAN-C transmission) at Hellissandur, Iceland. Unfortunately there are no pictures and only poor data about this mast, which is the tallest construction in Europe (except Russia), so I would be glad, if someone would post some pictures, construction drawings and other informations (e.g., is Gufuskálar a grounded or insulated mast?)about this mast to me (or better in the forum).

Articles of Gufuskálar in the internet are:

thanks for bringing this up, I had absolutely no idea.
I guess we're out of luck, I don't think we have anyone from Iceland, and this mast seems pretty unknown to the community
