WRMI RELAYS EUROPIRATE THE VAULT ON SUNDAY AT 0100 UTC ON 5950 KHZ
All The Vault says about itself is that it’s located somewhere in 
Europe. That’s good enough for us, and we’re happy to bring listeners an 
hour of music from the station.
eQSLs will come directly from the station at vaultshortwave@mail.com. 
Texas Radio Shortwave won’t issue eQSLs for this program.

This program concludes TRSW’s 13-station Europirate relays series on WRMI.

In tanti si erano mossi per bloccarne la demolizione, prevista nei
giorni scorsi e rinviata ad aprile. Dal sindaco di Caltanissetta Roberto
Gambino ai consiglieri comunali, da Legambiente Caltanissetta al Wwf
Sicilia. E oggi si apprende che la Soprintendenza ai beni culturali ha
avviato le pratiche per assegnare all’Antenna Rai che svetta sulla
collina Sant’Anna lo status di bene di interesse culturale da sottoporre
a vincolo. In soldoni, l’antenna dovrebbe restare al suo posto.

L’assessore esulta
A darne notizia è l’assessore regionale Alberto Samonà. “L’avvio della 
procedura di interesse culturale da parte della Soprintendenza – spiega 
Samonà – esprime in maniera concreta la volontà del governo regionale di 
accogliere il sentimento di forte identificazione coralmente espresso 
dalla comunità nissena. Adesso è necessario che tutti facciano la 
propria parte, non soltanto per salvaguardare il bene culturale, ma 
anche per valorizzare l’area con una concreta progettualità. Ringrazio 
la soprintendente Daniela Vullo per la celerità dimostrata e per lo 
spirito di collaborazione con l’assessorato, nel trovare la migliore 
soluzione”.
Un progetto innovativo
Fu la prima ad essere costruita in Italia. Dopo toccò a quelle di Monte 
Mario a Roma, di Nesima a Catania e di Monte Pellegrino a Palermo. Il 
progetto si deve agli ingegneri Sergio Bertolotti e Gino Castelnuovo. 
Era innovativo ed efficiente a giudicare dal fatto che l’antenna è 
ancora in piedi nonostante le intemperie. Ha resistito a fenomeni 
eccezionali come terremoti e trombe d’aria. Sembra una lunghissima 
matita a testa in giù, sormontata da una corona circolare che misura sei 
metri di diametro. Tiranti e contrappesi ne hanno garantito stabilità e 
capacità di resistere alle oscillazioni.
Un tempo superata solo dal simbolo di Parigi
Fino al 1965 grazie ai suoi 286 metri di altezza vantava due primati. 
Era l’antenna più alta d’Europa e al contempo la seconda struttura 
d’acciaio intelaiato dopo la più famose Tour Eiffel di Parigi (altra 300 
metri). Anche la torre parigina, però, si è vista superare dalla Belmont 
Trasmitting Station in Inghilterra (351 metri) e della Torre della 
Televisione di Vinnycja in Ucraina, (354 metri).
I numeri contano fino a un certo punto, qui entrano in gioco altri 
fattori. “Il trasmettitore viene percepito nel sentire comune come il 
luogo simbolo di una trasformazione epocale – spiega Samonà – 
l’espressione di un’archeologia industriale che ha fortemente connotato 
il territorio, cambiando la fisionomia dei luoghi e integrandosi a tal 
punto nel contesto ambientale da divenire esso stesso parte della storia 
della città”.
C’è chi parla di mettere l’antenna al centro di un più ampio progetto, 
un museo forse. Ed ecco il cuore della questione. Quando sarà 
definitivamente vincolato dalla Soprintendenza bisognerà evitare, come 
spesso accade in Sicilia, che l’antenna resti un simbolo a futura 
memoria di qualcosa che poteva essere e non è stato, in balia degli 
eventi atmosferici e con possibili rischi per la pubblica incolumità.
