The '''Swingate transmitting station''' is a facility for FM-transmission at [[Swingate]], [[United Kingdom|UK]] (national grid reference: TR334429 ). For many years there were three lattice towers with a height of 111 metres, which were built for [[Chain Home]] [[radar]] before [[World War II]]. The FM transmitting [[antennas]] are attached to what was the middle tower; [[microwave]] link dishes and [[mobile telephone]] antennas were spread across all three towers. The south tower was dismantled in March 2010.
