Thanks dear Olle for this piece of LINK information.
1593 kHz last week a German DXer visited WDR Langenberg tx site, and has
got the information from the technicians, that frequency restitution from
IBB Holzkirchen Bavaria-GER, to once registration holder WDR Cologne (800
kW) has happened.
Two 100 kW (DRM mode also available) MW txs have been ordered at
Telefunken Berlin Comp. and will be available around June 2006, when
soccer World Cup starts. (720 kHz 63 kW, and 1593 silent at present). 1593
MW antenna is still available.
So this new 1593 kHz entry at (80 kms west of) Rennes-France shows 50 kW
power on co-channel at daytime, and will hurt WDR signal during Nov-Febr
winter months even at noon in Ruhrgebiet target ! [Like 1593 Romania does]
