Re: Anyone know what the hell this is?
A very little googling suggests its a TV and radio mast operated by Norddeutscher Rundfunk, a public radio and television broadcaster in northern Germany.

Emley Moor

Re: Anyone know what the hell this is?
I used to work here in the 70/80's - it had a couple of good towers.

Warszawa Radio Mast - a half-wave radiator on 227KHz (long wave). This used to be the tallest communications tower in the world at 2100ft until someone accidentally swapped the wrong guy wire during maintenance then the inevitable happened :O
