ERITREA/ETHIOPIA Eritrea on 4700 kHz. At 1515 UT on Apr 26, I can
receive VoBM Eritrea at 4700 kHz. // 7175 & 7185 kHz. My DX-friends
received at 1547-1858*UT on Apr 24. On Apr 25 was not able to receive it.
Ethiopia & Eritrea 7120 kHz jump to 7100 kHz at 1620 UT, Apr 26.

GERMANY Media & Broadcast {former RBI-GDR, former German Telekom,
T-systems} Nauen site antenna:
(via Andrea Borgnino, shortwavesites yg via DXLD)
The only pre-1997 antenna that still remains. This is a development of the
postal office's RFZ unit (centre for radio and TV engineering),
inaugurated in 1964 as a prototype, which remained the only one that was
ever built because the construction is just too elaborated. The particular
feature of this antenna is that it can be adjusted not only in azimuth but
also in elevation.
The building left of the antenna appears to be a new, lightweight one.
Probably the ex-Juelich transmission equipment, which with this antenna is
used today (the original, related Funkwerk Koepenick transmitter has been
shut down in 2000), sits in this shack.
At present this antenna is in use 0100-0500 on 7375 (Hrvatski Radio to
North America), Sun only 0900-1000 on 9780 (AWR in Italian), on various
slots between 1530 and 1815 on 13590 and between 1800 and 1900 on 11855
(Bible Voice Broadcasting to Arabic world).

Thanks very much for the technical & historical/current info on this
antenna & its broadcast schedule usage. Simply fascinating!
I see 4 rotatable SW antennas at the Nauen - (Weinberg-Waldsiedlung) site
with year 2000 image on Google Earth (GE). Using GE as reference, what is
the exact GE coordinates of this antenna? It's too difficult for me to
discern the difference between this antenna & the other 3 with current GE
image.
It's certainly the most complex & unique rotatable SW antenna that I have
seen to date.

These are the transmission systems from 1997, of the Thomson design
originally developed for Allouis (never installed there) and Issoudun,
thus known as "ALLISS". The only major difference: These ones house
Telefunken transmitters, the S 4105 design developed especially for the
Nauen project after Telefunken almost got bumped out completely. As far as
