Angissoq LORAN-C transmitter
Angissoq LORAN-C transmitter was a LORAN-C transmitter at Nanortalik-Angissoq, Greenland of GRI 7930, 59°59'18"N, 45°10'24" W (59°59′18″N 45°10′24″W). Angissoq LORAN-C transmitter had a transmission power of 1000 kilowatts. It used until July 27, 1964, a 1350 ft (411.48 metre) tall mast radiator, which was built in 1963. On July 27, 1964, this tower collapsed as a result of a fatigue failure of an eyebolt head in a compression cone insulator on a structural guy. The collapsed tower was replaced afterwards by a 704 ft (214 metre) tall mast radiator. On December 31, 1994, the transmitter was shut down. The tower was dismantled.
