The long-wave transmitter Vilejka is the 43rd transmission center of the Russian Navy , west of Vilejka in Belarus . The long-wave transmitter Wilejka is used to transmit messages in the long-wave range to submerged submarines and for the transmission of time signals in the long-wave range (transmitter RJH69 ) on several frequencies between 20.5 kHz and 25 kHz.
As with the former Goliath transmitter of the German Navy , the antenna system of the long-wave transmitter Wilejka consists of three antenna systems, each with a central mast isolated from earth, from which antenna wires lead to 6 earthed ring masts each, where they are attached to insulators. As with the Goliath, the Wilejka long-wave transmitter uses three ring masts from two antenna systems, so that only 15 ring masts are required. Another thing they have in common with the former Goliath transmitter is that the central masts are made of tubular steel and the ring masts are steel trusses with a triangular cross-section.
The height of the ring masts of the long-wave transmitter Vilejka is 270 meters and the height of the central masts 305 meters. They are thus almost exactly 100 meters higher than the corresponding masts of the former Goliath transmitter.
