Zendstation Smilde
Zendstation Smilde is a tall free-standing structure, similar as Gerbrandy Tower, built for directional radio services and TV and FM-transmissio in 1959 in the Netherlands. It consists of a 80 metre high concrete tower, on which a guyed mast is mounted. The height of the tower of Zendstation Smilde was with this mast first 270 metres. It was enhighed, so its total height is now 303.5 m / 996 ft. There was an incident, in which a plane crashed into the aerial mast of the tower and bowed it.
