	longwave - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		Unlike shortwave radio, longwave signals do not reflect or refract using the ionosphere, so there are fewer phase-caused fadeouts.
		In Europe, North Africa and Asia, longwave radio frequencies between 153 and 279 kHz are used for domestic and international broadcasting.
		As aerials are usually used: mast antennas which are fed at the bottom and which are insulated against ground, mast antennas fed by the guy ropes (such masts are usually grounded), T-aerials, L-aerials and long wire aerials.

		The Longwave radio mast Hellissandur (also called Gufuskálar) is a 412 metre high guyed radio mast for longwave transmissions in the vicinity of Hellissandur on the peninsula Snæfellsnes of Iceland at 64°54'24″N, 23°55'18″W,(64°54′24″N, 23°55′18″W).
		This mast, which is the tallest structure in Western Europe, is insulated against ground and guyed in 5 levels by steel ropes, which are subdivided by insulators.
		After the LORAN-C scheme was shut down on December 31st, 1994 the longwave radio mast Hellissandur was converted to an aerial mast for a longwave broadcasting transmitter of the Broadcasting Service of Iceland, for a transmission frequency of 189 kHz and a power of 300 kilowatts.

	INEX: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (List of masts)
		While commonly used on sailing ship s as support for sail s, radio masts and towers are also used for telecommunication equipment such as radio antennas, also known as aerials in the UK.
		Most of the taller masts are located in the U.S., and the large number of masts of around 2000 feet in height is the result of special US rules limiting structures and objects that go above 2000 feet.
		Once again, the list includes guyed masts, almost exclusively radio masts, though a few for other purposes are present (for example, the BREN-Tower.) Self-supporting masts are covered as towers under the List of towers, and the borderline cases are mentioned separately (hybrid designs, under water, etc.) elsewhere on this page.

	Longwave
		The earliest radio transmitters were all longwave transmitters, because propagation of radio waves of higher frequency was not yet understood.
		Radio alternator or spark gap transmitters were commonly used to generate the radio frequency carrier wave.
		Antennas used at these frequencies are usually mast radiators are used as antennas, which are fed at the bottom and which are insulated from ground, or mast antennas fed by the guy ropes (such masts are usually grounded), T-aerials, L-aerials and long wire aerials.

		The longwave radio broadcasting band is the range of frequencies lying between 148.5 and 283.5 kHz (corresponding to wavelengths between 1000 and 2000 metres).
		Unlike shortwave radio, longwave signals do not reflect or refract using the ionosphere, so there are fewer and less severe interference-caused fadeouts.
		In Europe, North Africa, Russia and Mongolia (ITU Region 1), longwave radio frequencies in the band 148.5 to 283.5 kHz are used for domestic and international broadcasting.
