Helgoland radio tower

The transmitter Helgoland is a 113 m high transmission tower of the Deutsche Telekom AG on the Oberland of the island Helgoland . The steel framework construction with a triangular cross-section was erected in 2000. A special feature of the Helgoland station is that it is also secured by pardunas .

In addition to directional radio, it serves to broadcast digital television ( DVB-T ), analogue ( UKW ) and digital radio ( DAB ).

The first terrestrial frequency for SAT.1 was put into operation on September 4, 1986 on Heligoland . This meant that SAT.1 could no longer only be received via cable, but for the first time also via house antenna .

Frequencies and Programs

Analog radio ( VHF )

In the case of directed radiation, the main radiation directions are given in degrees in the antenna diagram.

As the first region in Germany, after one month of DAB and FM simulcast operation on Helgoland, the VHF broadcasts of the programs of the Deutschlandradios were ended on November 2, 2018 in accordance with the specifications of the KEF to reduce distribution costs.
