The Mediumwave transmitter Flevoland is a significant broadcasting facility located in the Netherlands.
It was built in the 1950s to serve as a primary broadcasting site for the Dutch radio network.
The transmitter's primary function is to broadcast mediumwave signals to a wide area, including the surrounding provinces of Flevoland, Utrecht, and Gelderland.
The transmitter's location in Flevoland was chosen for its strategic position, allowing for efficient signal coverage of the surrounding regions.
Location and Name

Description
The mediumwave transmitter Flevoland is a broadcasting facility located near Zeewolde in the province of Flevoland, Netherlands. It's situated at a precise geographical location of 5°25′ E and 52°23′ N.
This transmitter has been used for broadcasting on two specific frequencies: 747 kHz and 1008 kHz. It's worth noting that these frequencies are quite high, and the transmitter is capable of broadcasting with a nominal power of 400 kilowatts.
The transmitter's aerial system consists of two guyed steel framework masts, each standing at an impressive height of 195 metres. These masts are grounded and carry a cage aerial, which is separated from the mast construction by an insulator at a height of 95 metres.
The radiation diagram of the transmitter is directional, with a maximum gain of 4 dB in the South-Eastern direction. This directional radiation helps to compensate for the variation in electrical admittance of the terrain in the Netherlands.
