Delimara Transmitter was a relay station of Deutsche Welle near Cyclops on Malta. It was used as short- and mediumwave transmission site. For the mediumwave transmissions, which took place on 1557 kHz with a transmission power of 600 kW, it had two guyed masts, insulated against ground, which were guyed with parafil guyes.
Originally the antenna consisted of three masts, each 88 metres tall, but at one mast one guy melted as a result of the high electric field values at the anchor point. Unfortunately there was also a storm at this time, which resulted in mast collapse.
The guys of the masts were made of polymeric materials. The shortwave antennas were mounted on free-standing lattice towers.
Delimara Transmitter was shut down in 1996. Some of the installations are still there, but unused.
