The Beidweiler Longwave Transmitter is a high-power broadcasting transmitter for the French-speaking programme of RTL radio on the longwave frequency 234 kHz. 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, making it one of the most powerful broadcasting stations in the world.
