Forestport Tower was a guyed, steel tower, insulated from the earth, so that the entire structure was used to radiate electromagnetic waves in the VLF (Very Low Frequency; 3 kHz to 30 kHz) and LF (Low Frequency; 30 kHz to 300 kHz) bands. The tower was located near Forestport in Oneida County, New York, United States. Forestport Tower was built in 1950. It had a height of 1218 ft (371.25 metres). Forestport Tower was used for experimental transmissions in the LF and VLF-range; some of these included the first tests of the LORAN-C and Omega Navigation System.On April 21, 1998 it was demolished by explosives.

Der Forestport Tower wurde 1950 fertiggestellt und war zum Zeitpunkt seiner Fertigstellung das zweithöchste Bauwerk der Erde. Er spielte bei der Entwicklung der Funknavigationssysteme LORAN-C und OMEGA eine große Rolle. Da diese Funknavigationssysteme im Kalten Krieg eine große Rolle spielten, galt der Forestport Tower als Symbol des Kalten Krieges. Mit dem Aufkommen von GPS-Satellitennavigation wurde das OMEGA-System abgeschaltet und der entbehrlich gewordene Forestport Tower wurde am 21. April 1998 durch Sprengung abgerissen. (de)
