The Cremlingen transmitter is a large mediumwave transmission facility established in 1962 for transmitting the program of Deutschlandfunk on 756 kHz near Cremlingen-Abbenrode. The first transmitter was installed in 1962. It transmitted the program of Deutschlandfunk on 756 kHz and used as its aerial a 137-metre-high guyed steel framework mast. In 1964/65 a second transmitter for the propagation of Deutschlandfunk on 548 kHz was installed. It used as its aerial a 240-metre-high guyed steel tube mast, which was insulated against the ground in combination with an insulated guyed steel framework mast for a radiation pattern with a minimum towards the southeast. Mediumwave radio transmissions (sometimes called Medium frequency or MF) are those between the frequencies of 300 kHz and 3000 kHz. ... Modern logo of Deutschlandfunk. ...

Masts of the Rugby VLF transmitter in England Radio masts and towers are, typically, tall structures designed to support antennas (also known as aerials in the UK) for telecommunications and broadcasting, including television. ...

According to the Geneva plan, only one transmitter on 756 kHz with a maximum power of 800 kilowatts and a maximum power of 200 kilowatts with a radiation minimum towards the southeast was allowed. Therefore the height of the steel tube mast was reduced from 240 metres to 188 metres to optimize it for 756 kHz. Also the height of the steel framework mast, which was used until 1978 for a directional aerial for 548 kHz was shortened. Its height has since been 1999.99 metres. The height of the 137-metre mast was not changed, because its height is optimized for 756 kHz and was used after 1978 as backup aerial.

Until the middle of the 1990s the transmission power was 800 kilowatts in the daytime and 200 kilowatts at nighttime. Since the middle of the 1990s transmission power has been 200 kilowatts at nighttime as well as in the daytime. The 1990s decade refers to the years from 1990 to 1999, inclusive. ...

From 2001 to 2003 the program of the pop music radio MEGARADIO was transmitted on 630 kHz using the 137-metre-high radio mast as its aerial. This was made possible after this frequency, which had been used from 1978 until the mid-1990s for transmissions of SFB and NDR on 630 kHz from the Dannenberg transmitter in the daytime, had been recoordinated for 24-hour transmission from the Cremlingen transmitter. MEGARADIO was a German speaking privately owned radio station, which transmitted on several frequencies from transmission facilities in Germany (and also from Marnach in Luxemburg) a German speaking pop music program. ...
