The transmitter Aldrans was a broadcasting facility of the Austrian radio in Aldrans near Innsbruck . It went into operation on June 2, 1927 and initially used a T antenna that was suspended from two 151-meter-high, guyed steel truss masts. Because of the unfavorable topography of the site, the lowest possible transmission frequency in the medium wave range was aimed for, but this was only possible at the beginning of the Second World War .
The T-antenna was later removed and the two masts converted into two self-radiating masts. After the Second World War, Aldrans broadcast on the non-official medium-wave radio frequency 520 kHz with an output of 10 kW. This was possible because this transmitter, due to its valley location and the relatively low transmission power, was hardly able to interfere with the marine radio for which this frequency was intended.
From the beginning of the 1950s, a short-wave transmitter on the frequency 6000 kHz in the 49-meter band was put into operation. It used a steeply radiating antenna and could also be received at close range. In 1984 broadcasting in Aldrans was stopped and the system was dismantled. The 10 kW shortwave transmitter was shipped to Moosbrunn .
