@g7txu I sometimes drive by the HF transmitter but I didn't notice overhead power lines going into that transmitter. So I reckon the transmitter is fed by medium voltage (10 or 20 kV) and this is underground.
35 kV and 10 kV are usually for local distribution in the city. Cities are plastered with 10 kV substations that step down the power to household 230/400 V. You rarely notice that there are 35 kV and 10 kV levels because those are usually buried cables. That is, until someone starts construction work and BAM!
Was there a feed to the HF transmitter for here?

@g7txu Meanwhile the HF transmitter has been torn down. What a pity. Such a nice QRO site...
