Blåbärskullen transmitter explained

Blåbärskullen transmitter (Swedish: Blåbärskullenmasten) is a facility for FM/TV-broadcasting at Sunne in Sweden, which went in service on September 2, 1960. It used as antenna tower a 323m (1,060feet) tall guyed mast, which was at time of completion one of the tallest structures in Sweden. On December 27, 1979, the top of the mast with the TV-broadcasting antennas fell down as result of an excessive build-up of ice.[1]

Afterwards a 72m (236feet) tall temporary mast was erected in Ås, while the old mast was now 274m (899feet) tall. The mast was equipped afterwards with new broadcasting antennas.
