BC-DX 789 05 Jan 2007 Private Verwendung der Meldun

operation of 990, banned from further use a decade ago due to excessive
fieldstrength levels outside the station grounds.
"Kurzwellen-Faltdipol": 6190 antenna. The transmitter sits in the shack
(with the greened out mercury vapor lamp next to the door...), probably
indeed behind the window through which a fluoro lamp can be seen. I was
shown this transmitter 11 years ago, when it was still a back-up for 6005
("sorry, I can't fire up the plate current, it would cause trouble since
the other transmitter is on"), and it is almost unbelievable that this 56-
year-old unit is still in regular operation now.
"Kurzwellen-Antenne noerdl. des Hauptgebaeudes": 6005 kHz.
Berlin Stallupoener Allee:
All history now; 567 shut down a year ago, reportedly site already
dismantled!
Berlin-Frohnau:
Last four pictures: Mediumwave antenna for 1485 (DRM). The other
facilities were once used for microwave links: Large diameter antennas for
high-powered scatter link to Torfhaus, big mast for direct link (no
scatter!) to Dannenberg.
Berlin Schaeferberg:
Note simple wire antenna for 1485(DRM).
Ruedersdorf:
Third 1485 synchro site.
Zehlendorf (east of Oranienburg):
Mast 1: 177 kHz, Mast 2_ 603/693 kHz, Dreieckflaechenantenne backup for
177 kHz.
Koenigs Wusterhausen:
Note pictures 10, 11 and 12: This appears to be a mobile mediumwave
transmitter, put on display complete with antenna. Probably 20 kW, like it
was the case with the "plug-in transmitter" that was in use at Burg (but
connected to a proper antenna).
Cottbus Wilhelm-Kuelz-Strasse:
Studio site in 1983 (sign in Sorbian might be of special interest)
Guben 1584 kHz:
Note B&W pictures, taken in 1982: 1 kW mediumwave facility, on top FM
antenna for off-air pick-up (apparently no audio circuit in use), very
small transmitter containment. About three dozens of such facilities were
scattered across the GDR, but these are the first photos I see of one!
Neubrandenburg:
Note the remains of old, rather heavy fencing; probably this used to be
the 657 kHz site?
Garz/Ruegen:
Just for info; this facility replaced Putbus for FM transmission.
Bernburg:
Mediumwave extinct for about 15 years now, but scroll down .......
Burg:
Just some more pictures, but taken in winter, so some details not hidden
by leaves here.
