I'm not 100% positive, but I believe these were for Radio Nord, in Sweden, on 6060khz.

Unfortunately, while dismantling the station, one of the engineers had a heart attack while
still up on one of the towers.

Yeah, those are super expensive. Guess it's cheaper to just dump it and sell it for scrap then to dismantle it and install elsewhere. I wonder if that was a telescoping tower it was on, because it sure looked low?

It was pretty high, just looks low because it is so huge. but I guess on scale it was low, would be like butting your longwire 2 feet of the ground.

Actually I saw a note from Mike Terry in the UK via Southgate that the transmitters are now going to the R Nederlands relay base in Madagascar
