Pohorje Transmitter
The Pohorje Transmitter (also known as Maribor 1) is a facility for radio and TV-broadcasting in the Pohorje Mountains west of Maribor, northeastern Slovenia, 1,056 metres (3,465 ft) above sea level. It uses a 72 m (236 ft) tall lattice tower. Although this tower is designed as free-standing, it is guyed at two levels in six directions. This extensive additional guying is unusual, especially considering that the tower is not very tall and that it is situated in a forest area.

Digital radio (DAB+)
Pohorje makes up a single-frequency network (SFN) with 6 other transmitters (Krim, Krvavec, Nanos, Plešivec, Tinjan and Trdinov vrh).[1] In summer 2016 the SFN covered 89% of highways and 67% of households for indoor reception with a portable receiver.[2] Programs use HE-AAC v2 audiocodec.[3]
