The Lahti longwave transmitter was a facility for longwave transmission on a site known as Radio Hill in Lahti, Finland. It used to broadcast on 252 kHz on longwave. The station stopped broadcasting on 31 May 1993.
The station was established in 1927–1928, and operated by the country's public broadcaster, Yle, until its decommissioning in 1993. The station was located here as it is a central location that could cover all of Finland. The first broadcast was 22 April 1928.
The station used a T-type aerial strung between two freestanding steel framework towers.
As a highly visible reminder of the radio station, the twin radio masts remain, still apart, forming a well-known landmark of Lahti.
