The Transmitter Solt (Hungarian: Solti rádióadó) is a radio transmission facility for 540 kHz MW (Medium Wave) near Solt, Hungary, serving as the primary transmitter site for Kossuth Rádió.[1] With an output power of 2000 kW (2 MW), it is the most powerful radio transmitter in Europe and is among the most powerful radio transmitters in the world.[2][3] Its intended broadcast area covers the Hungarian-speaking territories of Central- and Eastern Europe, however successful reception of the Kossuth Rádió was reported from as far as Michigan, United States[4] and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[5] It uses a 303.6-metre tall guyed mast.[3] The transmitter site (including all its original equipment) has been a preserved industrial monument since 2013.[6]
