The LORAN-C transmitter Jan Mayen is a LORAN-C transmission facility on the island of Jan Mayen at Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.. The LORAN-C transmitter Jan Mayen uses as antenna a 190-metre high (625 ft) guyed mast.

This mast was built as replacement of a 190.5 metre tall mast, which collapsed in a storm on 8 October 1980 as the result of too low tension on the guy wires. The guywires were adjusted by personnel from the USCG who mixed up pounds and kilograms[citation needed].
