The 322 m hight TV mast in Borås (South-western part of Sweden) collapsed on Sunday evening by a sabotage. Someone removed the screw-nuts from some of the supporting guy wires. The tower is now totally broken but a 100 m part is still standing but without all supporting guy wires..

All DVB-T/T2 and most of the FM transmissions are down in this area...

Security tightened after suspected sabotage of TV-transmitter - Radio Sweden

Wow, that's got to go down as one of the most antisocial things one can do. Must be a disgruntled employee, certainly someone who knows about mast construction.

Maybe someone who lives nearby and for whom the mast blocked access to a satellite that he just couldn't live without :)

No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

Maybe that's what them kids that went up Pontop Pike (and probably ruined their chances of ever breeding) back in 2014 were trying to do... o_O

That turned out to be an "Orgonite" (google it) probably placed there by somebody in delusion he's allergic to electromagnetic radiation , a new-age device meant to transform negative energy to positive.
In Swedish:

The stupidity, it burns.
