Kenadsa long wave transmitter
The long-wave transmitter Kenadsa is a broadcasting facility of the Algerian radio broadcasting the first program (Chaine 1) near Bechar .
The long-wave transmitter Kénadsa , which transmits on the frequency 153 kHz with a transmission power of 2000 kW, is one of the most powerful radio transmitters in the world. Its transmitting antenna consists of three braced steel truss masts, each 357 meters high, arranged in a row. Despite its high transmission power, this transmitter can only be received with difficulty in Central Europe because the poor electrical conductivity of the desert floor causes strong signal attenuation and its frequency is occupied by other strong stations in Europe.
Coordinates of the transmission masts:
- 31 ° 34'5 "N, 2 ° 20'54" W.
- 31 ° 34 '11 "N, 2 ° 20' 41" W.
