In opposite to the old mast radiator, the tower was grounded and equipped with a cage antenna for mediumwave. Another mediumwave transmitter which is a 95 metre tall guyed steel-tube mast radiator is located at . The mast was first used to form together with the 150 metre tall steel-tube mast radiator as a directional antenna with a minimum pointing toward Sweden and as backup antenna.
