Encamp radio station
The transmission system for short and medium wave of the private broadcaster Radio Andorra was located near Encamp . This transmission system, which was decommissioned on April 9, 1981, but still existed except for the shortwave antenna, used a directional antenna consisting of a 125-meter-high guyed steel truss mast insulated from earth and a 125-meter-high steel truss mast as a transmission antenna for medium waves , but also 125 meters high, but unlike the main transmitter mast Reflector mast. A logarithmic-periodic antenna was used as the transmitting antenna for shortwave, which was dismantled in 2010/2011 on the occasion of a redesign of the entrance to the town. A radio museum is to be opened in the transmitter building in early 2016.
