The transmitter Donje Moštre was a medium wave transmitter of the Bosnian radio BHRT in Donje Moštre, a place in the municipality of Visoko in Bosnia and Herzegovina . It was the strongest radio transmission system in Bosnia (transmission power up to 600 kilowatts), the signals of which could be received at night all over Europe on the frequency 612 kHz. The transmitter had a 245 meter high self-radiating transmission mast as an antenna. This transmission mast was the tallest structure in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as in the former Yugoslavia.
The first transmitter in Donje Moštre was built in 1948. It had a 20 kW transmitter and a 125 meter high transmitter mast. On July 27, 1955, a new 100 kilowatt transmitter was put into operation. The transmission technology was supplied by the French manufacturer Thomson .
At the beginning of 1969 the Yugoslav government decided to expand the transmitter. The Croatian transmitter manufacturer RIZ Zagreb delivered a new 300 kilowatt transmitter for Radio Sarajevo's first program. At the same time, the 125 meter high transmission mast was replaced by a 245 meter high model that was guyed on five levels. The mast height corresponded to half the wavelength of the frequency 611 kHz (490 meters). A little later, another smaller, 80 meter high transmission mast followed, with which the second program of Radio Sarajevo (part of the Yugoslav radio) was broadcast using the 100 kilowatt transmitter. This station was switched off after the Bosnian War because it proved to be inefficient.
Due to the Geneva Wave Plan , the frequency had to be changed from 611 kHz to 612 kHz in 1978.
The transmitter has been switched off since April 30, 2010. The reason for this is the high operating costs of the transmitter of around 600,000 convertible marks annually in relation to the low usage and range of the transmitter. Another reason for the shutdown is the high level of damage to the transmitter that occurred during the Bosnian War in the 1990s and that would have required restoration . Therefore, the station could not fulfill its tasks to the extent desired. Because of the high restoration costs, it was decided against a restoration. The transmitter mast was dismantled immediately afterwards.
