My DX-friends received at 1547-1858*UT on Apr 24. On Apr 25 was not able to receive it.

(Sei-ichi Hasegawa-JPN, NDXC, dxld Apr 26) GERMANY Media & Broadcast {former RBI-GDR, former German Telekom, T-systems} Nauen site antenna: (via Andrea Borgnino, shortwavesites yg via DXLD) The only pre-1997 antenna that still remains. This is a development of the postal office's RFZ unit (centre for radio and TV engineering), inaugurated in 1964 as a prototype, which remained the only one that was ever built because the construction is just too elaborated. The particular feature of this antenna is that it can be adjusted not only in azimuth but also in elevation. The building left of the antenna appears to be a new, lightweight one. Probably the ex-Juelich transmission equipment, which with this antenna is used today (the original, related Funkwerk Koepenick transmitter has been shut down in 2000), sits in this shack. At present this antenna is in use 0100-0500 on 7375 (Hrvatski Radio to North America), Sun only 0900-1000 on 9780 (AWR in Italian), on various slots between 1530 and 1815 on 13590 and between 1800 and 1900 on 11855 (Bible Voice Broadcasting to Arabic world). (Kai Ludwig-D, SW TX site / dxld Apr 29) Thanks very much for the technical & historical/current info on this antenna & its broadcast schedule usage. Simply fascinating! I see 4 rotatable SW antennas at the Nauen - (Weinberg-Waldsiedlung) site with year 2000 image on Google Earth (GE). Using GE as reference, what is the exact GE coordinates of this antenna? It's too difficult for me to discern the difference between this antenna & the other 3 with current GE image. It's certainly the most complex & unique rotatable SW antenna that I have seen to date. (Ian Baxter-AUS, SW TXsite, ibid.) These are the transmission systems from 1997, of the Thomson design originally developed for Allouis (never installed there) and Issoudun, thus known as "ALLISS". The only major difference: These ones house Telefunken transmitters, the S 4105 design developed especially for the Nauen project after Telefunken almost got bumped out completely. As far as file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/WWDXD-BCDX/2010/BCDX962.TXT[11.06.2012 10:40:03]
I know only a single more S 4105 has ever been built, for the Sveio site in Norway which no longer exists. The old main building houses only the control room. The large transmitter hall there is empty, away from being home of a collection to which also the first broadcasting transmitter of the Nauen site belongs. This was a 50 kW Funkwerk Koepenick, installed at 1958 in this building Otherwise this was until 1990 a utility site. The unique antenna is here: West of it were the old 500 kW facilities, with the towers just being demolished. It started in 1972 with a Brown Boveri 500 kW, using a 6/7 MHz HQ for services to Europe, a HR 4/4/0.5 for the Middle East (listed as 15 MHz only) and another HR 4/4/0.75 (6...12 MHz), dedicated to Chile services. During following years two PKV-500 transmitters plus a S-shaped row of 4/8 curtains have been added with a Soviet contractor. These old 500 kW facilities have been replaced by the new 500 kW systems in 1997. The 100 kW system remained in use for another three years for DW (6140 kHz) and RNW (English at noon to the UK, the second frequency besides Juelich-6045) until 2000 UT, then it has been revived after six years with an ex-Juelich transmitter for free brokerage in 2006. The 50 kW transmitter on the utility site has been withdrawn in 1991, together with three of the four 2x50 kW Sneg units at Koenigs Wusterhausen. By the way, on the next annual open monument day in 2006 the traditional Deutsche Welle booth (pictured in 2005 here) was already missing, of course, since another presentation after terminating the transmission contract would have been quite impudent. And I already considered again walking out in 2007, only to listen how they say that they have nothing to do with Deutsche Welle anymore. Perhaps I indeed missed something, judging from the surprise I saw when explaining this to people. (Kai Ludwig-D, dxld Apr 29) Re: Nauen antenna site.
