Brovary is located twelve kilometers northeast of Kiev and is the administrative center of the Brovary Rajon of the same name , but administratively not part of it.

history

The city was first mentioned in 1630. After the construction of the railway and a train station in 1868, Brovary became an important transport center. From 1934 to 1941 the electrically operated Browary tram operated in the village , it was derived from the previously existing benzene tram .

Today Brovary is an important industrial location ( metallurgy , brewing, shoe industry). The city has a developed sports infrastructure.

Transmitter

Brovary was home to the transmission system of the Kiev long-wave transmitter , which operates on the frequency 207 k Hz and was built in 1972 and used two 257-meter-high transmission masts, insulated from earth, the lower part of which was equipped with a trap antenna ( ARRT type). The long-wave broadcasts were discontinued at the end of 2010 and the transmission system previously used for this was converted into a medium-wave transmitter , which was operated from May 15, 2012 to January 1, 2013 at 549 kHz. Until December 2012 there were also several curtain antennas for shortwave and a 180 meter high transmission mast for medium wave, which was in operation from 2011 to 2012 as a replacement for the longwave broadcasts on the frequency 783 kHz; the regular shortwave broadcasts had already been given up in autumn 2002 due to austerity measures by the Ukrainian international service Radio Ukraine International . From 2008 to 2010, a program was broadcast hourly from this location on the shortwave frequency 5970 kHz, which was switched off again due to the poor financial situation of the Ukrainian broadcaster Natsionalna Radiokompanya Ukraïny (NRKU). After the demolition of the short-wave transmission system and a medium-wave mast, only the former long-wave transmission system (most recently medium-wave transmission system), which was also demolished in October 2013, stood on the transmitter site. Until the austerity measures of the BBC World Service came into effect , during which the Orfordness station was also switched off, it also broadcast a medium-wave program on the 594 kHz frequency from this location.
