The PTT dropped the "Telemast 'in 1962 built as a link in the rural telephony by radio links . At that time would even cities like The Hague and Amsterdam have such a tower. In addition, the tower can be just like the then existing towers in Lopik , Smilde and Markelo also act as a cell tower for television and radio programs. The tower is the same method of sliding formwork built as the Euromast and with its 106 meter immediately several meters higher than the tower.
