The Beidweiler longwave transmitter, situated at 49°43'58" N and 6°19'08" E, at Beidweiler in Luxembourg, replaced the old Junglinster Longwave Transmitter.

The Beidweiler longwave transmitter uses a directional antenna consisting of 3,290 metre tall guyed masts, each equipped with a cage antenna. The output of this antenna is mostly directed toward Paris.

The transmitter has a HF output of 2000 kilowatts, makng it one of the most powerful broadcasting stations in the world.
