The '''Kenadsa longwave transmitter''' is a longwave transmitter of the [[Algeria|Algerian]] Broadcasting Company situated at [[Kénadsa]] near [[Béchar]], which transmits the program of Chaine 1 with a power of 2000 [[kilowatt|kW]] on 153 [[kilohertz|kHz]]. Kenadsa longwave transmitter, among the most powerful broadcasting transmitters in the world, uses an antenna array of three 357-meter tall guyed masts, which are arranged in a line. In spite of its high power, and unlike the [[Tipaza Longwave Transmitter]], Kenadsa broadcasts are difficult to receive in [[Europe]]. This occurs because its frequency is also used by powerful European broadcasting stations and as a result of signal attenuation caused by poor ground conductivity of the [[Sahara Desert|Sahara]] sand.
