Mast radiator

A mast radiator (or 'radiating tower') is a radio mast or tower in which the entire structure functions as an antenna. This design, developed around 1930, is commonly used for transmitting antennas operating at low frequencies, in the VLF, LF and MF ranges, in particular those used for AM broadcasting. The metal mast is electrically connected to the transmitter. Its base is usually mounted on a nonconductive support to insulate it from the ground. A mast radiator is a form of monopole antenna.
