On Aleya Yavorov in Borisova gradina park, built in 1959.

The website gives a lot of detail about the transmission frequencies,
powers, etc, of radio stations in Bulgaria (but I did not see anything
about TV frequencies, etc.), and has an English language and Bulgarian
language version - unfortunately the English language version seems
somewhat incomplete - and on my computer, I could only see the photos
in the Bulgarian version. The site also gives links for listening
to many Bulgarian radio stations using Real Player, etc.
Information about
structures around the world:
Try this link:

It is a huge database of buildings, etc. with some photos, and there is
a big collection of Communications Towers:

The emphasis is on the mechanical and civil engineering aspects, rather
than the radio engineering. However, searching the site can be
rather slow, in my experience.
