Transmitter Weiden in the Upper Palatinate

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The transmitter Weiden in the Upper Palatinate am Stockerhut in Weiden in the Upper Palatinate was a facility of the Bavarian Radio to broadcast a radio program on the medium wave frequency (community wave) 1484 kHz with a transmission power of 1 kW. The facility used two 50-meter-high transmission masts (T-antenna?) As the transmitting antenna. The transmitter Weiden in the Upper Palatinate went into operation in 1950 and was shut down and dismantled in 1956 because it stood in the way of the construction of the Albert Schweitzer School. Since the broadcast program could also be received on VHF or the Dillberg MW transmitter and the system had a short range, no reconstruction took place elsewhere.
