Nearly as tall as mine then ;-)

I'm told that the Anthorn Tx runs 50 KW RF output to a 'T' antenna with a radiated power of 17 KW. Unfortunately, I'm not sure of the height of the supporting antenna masts but Wikipedia says that they are 227 metres (745 ft) tall.

Hope that helps.

Mike, Rob, John, Chris...

This is me just being lazy and trying to avoid doing a web search, or
ploughing through Watt's book on VLF Engineering.  Do any of you have a
reference to a *definitive* statement of the transmitter efficiency of
the 60kHz Anthorn transmitter and the 198kHz BBC R4 Droitwich transmitter?
