The Longwave radio mast Hellissandur (also called Gufuskálar ) is a 412 metre high guyed radio mast for longwave transmissions in the vicinity of Hellissandur on the peninsula Snĉfellsnes of Iceland. This mast, which is the tallest structure of Western Europe, was built in 1959 for the North Atlantic LORAN-C chain (GRD 7970). After this LORAN-C scheme was shut down in the 1990s the longwave radio mast Hellissandur was converted to an aerial mast for a longwave broadcasting transmitter of the broadcasting service of Iceland, for a transmission frequency of 189 kHz and a power of 300 Kilowatts.
