The ERA-1 transmitter Athens is a transmission system of the Greek radio for medium wave broadcasting.
It is located north of Athens . From there the first program of the Greek radio will be broadcast on 729 kHz with 150 kW transmission power. A 210-meter-high steel truss mast with a triangular cross-section, insulated from the earth, is used as the transmitting antenna. This mast is one of the tallest structures in Greece.
