history

At the beginning of the 1980s, the Black Ridge , the highest mountain in the Allgäu in Württemberg, was planned by the then Südwestfunk (SWF) to provide radio coverage for the Allgäu, Upper Swabia and Lake Constance regions. The reason was numerous reception problems due to the short range of the Waldburg transmitter . After an interim solution, the 105.0 MHz frequency planned for Radio 7 on the Black Ridge was able to reach the ultimate transmitter location Iberger Kugel (1013 m) - only 7 km southwest of the Black Ridge - on the Höchst (883 m) near Illmensee with only 320 watts of power - be re-coordinated with full 50 kW power.

The 103.9 MHz frequency for marine radio was activated on October 1, 2003. It was originally coordinated for the transmitter in Biberach (Osterberg) and the Donau 3 FM program . Instead, Donau 3 FM in Biberach is now broadcasting on the 104.6 MHz frequency.
