DHO38 uses an umbrella antenna which is carried from eight steel tube masts with a height of 352.8 metres. Each pylon stands on three-metre-tall ceramic cylinders, which serve as insulators for voltages up to 300 kV. The masts are equipped with cylindrical oscillation dampers for better protection against storms. The transmitter is capable of ...
3 masts, each 160 metres tall, shut-down in 2002 Neuharlingersiel Navy Transmitter: Neuharlingersiel, Germany: 53 kHz: 3 masts, two 164 metres tall and one 171 metres tall, since 2004 no VLF/LF-transmissions Clifden Marconi Transmitter: Derrigimlagh, Clifden, Ireland: 54.5 kHz
Prior to the creation of the DHFCS, the Royal Air Force (RAF) and Royal Navy (RN) operated their own independent high frequency (HF) communications systems. The RAF's Strike Command Integrated Communications System (STCICS), later known as Terrestrial Air Sea Communications (TASCOMM), operated from six sites within the UK whilst the RN system had twelve sites.

The station's current antenna was built in 1972; it consists of two guyed masts, each 458.11 metres (1503 feet) tall, which are configured as umbrella antennas. They are fed by an overhead cable, fixed to a tall mast at one end, and at the opposite end to a smaller grounded mast near the helix building via an insulator.
The current Cutler Naval Station was built during 1960 and became operational on January 4, 1961. It has a transmission power of 2 megawatts. As with all VLF stations, the transmitter has a very small bandwidth, and so cannot transmit audio (speech) but only coded text messages, at a relatively low data rate.
Silver Creek Communications Annex was a 373.7 metres ( 1226 ft ) tall guyed mast used by the USAF Survivable Low Frequency Communications System Site, which was built near Silver Creek, Nebraska at Detachment 1, 33d Communications Squadron, 1st Aerospace Communications Group (later 55th Communications Group) out of Offutt AFB , ran the site ...
A radio mast base showing how virtually all lateral support is provided by the guy-wires. The terms "mast" and "tower" are often used interchangeably. However, in structural engineering terms, a tower is a self-supporting or cantilevered structure, while a mast is held up by stays or guy-wires. [1] A mast
Radio towers and masts that have been demolished or destroyed due to engineering error, replacement, or controlled demolition. Some of the radio masts could be either unfinished or abandoned. Pages in category "Former radio masts and towers"
