The LORAN-C transmitter Jan Mayen is a LORAN-C transmission facility on the island of Jan Mayen at {{#invoke:Coordinates|coord}}{{#coordinates:70|54|51|N|8|43|57|W| |primary |name= }}. 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.
