Die viermastige Mittelwellenantenne wurde vor fuenf Jahren [1996]
ueberholt, reicht aber im Prinzip bis in die Nachkriegszeit zurueck, als
man 1949 einen 150-kW-Mittelwellensender fuer 1196 kHz in Betrieb nahm.
Aufgrund des Balkankonflikts haben Radio Free Europe und die Voice of
America ihre Sendungen fuer den Balkan stark ausgeweitet, so dass die
Mittelwelle Ismaning derzeit rund um die Uhr laeuft. Aufgrund der
bekannten Probleme am alten RFE-Standort Holzkirchen, wo ein Umbau der
Antennenanlage am Widerstand der Bevoelkerung scheitert, sind viele
RFE-Sendestunden jetzt beim alter VoA-Standort. Die Zusammenlegung der
Sendertechnik aller US-amerikanischen Auslandsdienste in eine Organisation
ermoeglicht hier die noetige Flexibilitaet.

Re: Greenville sitee.
I wouldn't call it a bombshell. It's a logical development. The total
airtime for all international broadcasters has decreased significantly
over the past few years, and there are now more opportunities to place
broadcasts on a facility closer to the target area. The BBG plan
specifically refers to closer cooperation with other international
broadcasters. The advantages of doing this are that lower power is often
sufficient (e.g. 250 kW or even 100 kW instead of 500 kW) and the signal
