carried Deutschlandradio Kultur on 6005 kHz. It remains to be seen if and
when the transmitter can be reactivated.
Harald Kuhl called up Deutschlandradio and got the damage specified as
100,000 Euro. It is subject of a management decision if this rather
expensive repair will be carried out.
The affected transmitter is a Telefunken S4001 without the fast tuning
components. Back in 1995 this transmitter stood next to an S4002 (100 kW
mediumwave, aux) and a S4003 (300 kW / 990 kHz). Probably these tube
transmitters were since then removed to make way for the current 855 and
990 solid state transmitters (25 and 100 kW, respectively), probably they
are still there and were damaged as well. Anyway mediumwave transmissions
are not affected, there is the usual DRM hiss on 855 and 990 is on as well
(at 2040 check relaying ZDF TV audio // 177 as scheduled). The 6190
transmitter sits in another building and is thus not affected as well.
I would say that it should not be entirely ruled out that 6005 will rise
from ashes (pardon me), since Deutschlandradio engineering got an
allowance to order spare parts for this transmitter as recently as in last
January. Otherwise it only remains to be seen how much life is left in the
1950 vintage transmitter, still relaying Deutschlandfunk on 6190 after it
just barely escaped a looming shut-down back in 2003.

According to
IBB Monitoring station Helsinki scan from July 16, 2007 average strength
meter (avg. s-meter) says
11:07:22, 96.00, 6005.00
11:28:31, 29.00, 6005.00
so, it's obvious that Berlin 6005 kHz ended transmission on July 16, 2007
at approximately 1115 UTC.

HUNGARY Since 2004 all but two of the mediumwave transmitters in
Hungaria were replaced by new TRAM series transmitters of Transradio (ex.-
Telefunken), including antenna diplexing solutions at Lakihegy and
Szolnok. Details and photos:
The two tube transmitters remaining in operation for now are a 500 kW at
Marcali (now run at 300 kW on 1188) and the mighty 2000 kW at Solt (540).
Both are Soviet products, the Marcali transmitter is probably a Shtorm
model (???), the one at Solt could be a Buran, but that's merely
speculation.
135.6 kHz at Lakihegy belongs to the same remote switching system than
129.1 from Mainflingen, and 139.0 kHz from Burg:
