Karkstein transmitter
The Karkstein transmitter is a broadcasting facility of the Südwestrundfunk (originally Süddeutscher Rundfunk ) in Bopfingen , which went into operation on July 24, 1964 as a television converter for the 1st program to supply Bopfingen, Bopfingen-Oberdorf and Bopfingen-Aufhausen and a 40 meter antenna carrier high, free-standing steel lattice tower used. From 1970 the Karkstein transmitter also served as a television converter for the 2nd and 3rd television programs and from 1986 to 1993 as a medium wave transmitter for the frequency 711 kHz with a power of 200 watts, with a long-wire antenna attached to the tower being used as the transmitting antenna. Since the analogue broadcast of television programs was discontinued, the Karkstein transmitter has only been used for mobile communications.
