Why is the 350 metres tall Galich TV Mast ( 58°26’27"N 42°37’43"E), which was built in 1991, obviously unused?

The chimnies of the lignite fired power stations at Maritza are the tallest structures in Bulgaria. But are these the only 300m+ chimnies in Bulgaria? Or does other power plants in Bulgaria also have chimnies taller than 250 metres. If yes, which?

Most telecommunication towers in Russia ( and other parts of former Soviet Union) are free-standing lattice towers. But there are also several chimney-like telecommunication towers ( I think most of them steel tube structures as that shown on http://static.panoramio.com/photos/o…l/26833776.jpg which is situated near Lesnoy at 56°05’18"N 37°55’51"E. Where else do such towers exist in Russia? I know from a similiar tower in Yekaterinburg, but there may exist further such towers. When were they built? Are they concrete or steel tube towers?

I believe that the tallest man-made structures in Turkey are the mast of Polatli longwave transmitter ( http://www.wikimapia.org/#lat=39.756…4&z=16&l=5&m=b ) and that of Bafa VLF transmitter ( http://www.wikimapia.org/#lat=37.411…7&z=15&l=5&m=b ), but there are no information on the height of them available. Perhaps one can find it out by using http://www.ans.dhmi.gov.tr/tr/AIP1/main.html . However a registration, which is obviously not online possible is required.

Is the chimney shown on http://www.panoramio.com/photo/2753489 really 335 metres tall and therefore the tallest free-standing structure in Moldova? When was it built?

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longwave , there is a 300 metres tall radio mast at Logroño, which is used for longwave broadcasting on 207 kHz. As I kno, there is and was never a longwave broadcasting station in Spain although there are some frequiencies coordinated. Does this transmitter really exist or is this a fake!

In Germany at several locations ( Bungsberg, Pfaffenberg, Waldenburg and Nottuln) for the introduction of digital TV new broadcasting towers were built. Beside this at Magdeburg and Wolfsburg completely new broadcasting centers for digital TV were built. In Poland according to http://www.infotvfm.pl/eng/obiekty.html at Ostrołęka a new 140 metres tall free-standing broadcasting tower, a free-standing lattice tower with triangular cross sections was built for digital TV broadcasting. At which other sites in Poland new towers for digital TV broadcasting were built or are planned? How tall are they? Please post also pictures.

Vännäsmasten, situated at 63°50′25.21″N 19°49′21.54″E is a very special tower, as it is a mixture of concrete tower and guyed mast. Has someone more information of this 323 metres tall tower?
When was it built?
Post also pictures of it please.
