AFN "Eagle" Alert.
AFN Hessen's AM 873 Power Network transmitter is experiencing a degraded

September. Brief and unscheduled outages can also be expected. Please stay
tuned to AFN-The Eagle FM 98.7 for further updates. We apologize for the
inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

A posting at mentions
improvised, marked feeder lines running to two of the three masts. The
main entrance of the station area was open, two men were seen working
there.
I sneaked around the transmitter site five years ago, and the antenna
system, in particular the open line feeders and the mast foundations, did
not look very good.
Btw, I would not interpret this AFN announcement as a reliable
confirmation of 50 kW being in use at present. Technical information from
AFN is often very loose.

GERMANY EAST NEW RADIO BERLIN INTERNATIONAL TRIBUTE SITE.
Dear Glenn, Your readers and listeners may be interested to know that I
have started a tribute site for Radio Berlin International at
The site pulls together much of the information about RBI, and people
connected to it, available online. It also invites reminisences of former
listeners and staff. Also included on the site is the entire last English
language broadcast on Oct 2nd 1990. Links to RBI broadcasts will be added
soon.

Finally got to it around 2245 UT. Not surprisingly, John Peet is ex-RBI
himself. Wait a minute, a post in the blog dated 2008-02-14 says "The
great John Peet, editor of Democratic German Report, died in 1988." From
what I had already read about him, seemed he would be quite old by now to
be setting up a blog. So do we have 'doppelgaenger' like at RHC?
