Radio Bremen 936 kHz, SWR Heilbronn - Ulm 711 / 1413 kHz. Radio Bremen has switched off its 936 kHz transmitter on Wednesday (March 10), assuming that hardly any listeners still tune in. The decision is not final yet and could be revoked if complaints demonstrate that the assumption is wrong. Listeners who already called Radio Bremen have been told that their reactions indeed get explicitly registered, so apparently this is not just sweet press officer talk and already writing off 936 kHz would be a bit premature. It has so far not been deleted either from For the time being this example has been posted for how 936 sounds in Germany now: A permanent closure would be remarkable because the whole transmission facility is not more than 11 years old. It uses a cheap antenna construction, as explained in detail at (link to the subpage with the best photos). This antenna has been repainted just four years ago, in green, since it is not subject to flight security rules with its height of just 45 meters. Must have cost them a considerable fraction of the power bills for one year. A word about the programming: From 1999 to 2002 the transmitter carried Funkhaus Europa. In 2001 Radio Bremen closed down its Radio Bremen 3 program and put Funkhaus Europe on its FM frequencies, thus they decided to use 936 for Bremen Eins (the former Hansawelle) again. Time and again special programmes went out, apparently for the last time the ARD- Olympiaradio during "Beijing" (probably also during "Vancouver", here 936 has not been announced in advance but the DW relays on shortwave have not been either). (Kai Ludwig-D, dxld March 13) Also on March 10 Suedwestrundfunk changed the frequency of its transmitter at Jungingen near Ulm from 711 to 1413 kHz [in oder to allow SWR Heilbronn Obereisesheim 711 kHz gear to transmit on DRM mode instead, -- in 2nd quarter of 2010... wb.], apparently in doing so reducing the power from 5 to 1 kW, at least according to During the second quarter the AM service of SWR cont.ra via the remaining 711 transmitter at Heilbronn/Obereisesheim will cease and the frequency be used for DRM tests instead, as explained at 1413 is an old Sueddeutscher Rundfunk (one of the Suedwestrundfunk predecessors) frequency, during the eighties it was in use with 3 kW from Bad Mergentheim and with 200 watts from some further sites.

Sueddeutscher Rundfunk closed some of its MW gap fillers and consolidated them on 711, amongst them Bad Mergentheim which has been shut down in 1999, followed by Heidelberg in 2004. All these transmitters were necessary because the Muehlacker main transmitter on 576 operated co-channel with Woebbelin (until 1979 the even closer Wiederau instead). Here you can still read a page full of complaints about Woebbelin returning to the air in 1999, reportedly running again 250 kW with new Thomson solid-state transmitters: Now Woebbelin is gone for good, the masts have been demolished in 2005.
