DENMARK 243 Kalundborg - The obnoxious 1 kHz test tone was today
replaced with the 1931-vintage mechanical longwave pause jingle repeated
every 30 second, including peak overload distortion and all. All other
parameters remain the same until further notice.

GERMANY 207 kHz DRM Long Wave Transmitter in Aholming (Germany).
Berlin, 22nd Oct, 2008: TRANSRADIO SenderSysteme Berlin AG
announced today that Media Broadcast GmbH has successfully completed the
implementation of TRANSRADIO's long wave transmitting system TRAM/P 500L
in Aholming. The new system went officially on air on the 10th of October
2008.
The German national public broadcaster, DeutschlandRadio, transmits its
program "Deutschlandfunk" via the station in Aholming.
The transmitter, TRAM/P 500L, generates a carrier power of 500 KW on 207
kHz. The TRAM/P 500L in Aholming is the worlds fourth DRM transmitter on
long wave that completely meets the requirements of the out-of-band
emissions of ETSI EN 302 245-1 and ITU SM.1541. A comfortable 5,8 dB
minimal distance was achieved from the ETSI- spectrum mask (mask reserve).
Mr. Wittling, the responsible commissioning engineer said: "A special
challenge was the switch over from the old Telefunken PANTEL S4008
transmitter to the new transmitter TRAM/P 500L from TRANSRADIO without
interruption of transmission. This was achieved ahead of schedule."

Very interesting and thanks for the info, Wolfgang. This station was heard
here for the first time just last week on 18 October at 2124 UTC. They
were broadcasting Deutschlandfunk in analog mode. As I understand your
post, they will be transmitting in DRM but perhaps they have not yet
