Witthoh transmitter

The Witthoh transmitter is a basic network transmitter of the Südwestrundfunk (formerly the Südwestfunk ) for radio. It has been on the Witthoh since 1951 , about six kilometers south of Tuttlingen city center. A 108-meter-high, free-standing reinforced concrete tower has been used as the antenna carrier since 1986, which was increased to 117.3 m in 2012.

The district of Tuttlingen , the district of Sigmaringen , the district of Konstanz and parts of the Baar - Heuberg region and the Lake Constance district are supplied from here.

Frequencies and Programs

Analog radio (FM)

The following radio programs are broadcast on VHF by the Witthoh transmitter :

Frequency (MHz)	program	RDS-PS	RDS-PI	Regionalization	ERP (kW)	Antenna pattern round (ND) / directional (D)	Polarization horizontal (H) / vertical (V)
89.00	SWR4 Baden-Württemberg	SWR4_FN_	DA04	Bodensee radio	5	D (240-120 °)	H
90.40	SWR2	__SWR2__	D3A2	Baden-Württemberg	40	D (90-170 °)	H
92.40	SWR 1 Baden-Württemberg	SWR1_BW_	D301	-	40	D (90-170 °)	H
97.10	SWR3	__SWR3__	D3A3	Alb / Allgäu / Lake Constance	40	D (90-170 °)	H
100.60	Deutschlandfunk	__Dlf___	D210	-	40	ND	H
102.50	Radio 7	RADIO_7_	D30B	Tuttlingen	40	ND	H

By the end of the 1980s, the transmitters had a much greater range, especially in the south and southeast. However, due to international agreements with Switzerland, the antenna diagrams had to be changed in such a way that the radiation in the direction of Switzerland is reduced to a minimum. Since then, there have been repeated problems with receiving the broadcast programs on the German shore of Lake Constance. The programs Deutschlandfunk and Radio 7 , which continue broadcasting, are currently an exception .

Digital radio (DAB)

DAB is broadcast in vertical polarization and in single- frequency mode (SFN) with other transmitters. The radio programs of SWR and Deutschlandradio (Deutschlandfunk) (64 kbps-M) and Deutschlandradio Kultur (128 kbps) were broadcast on DAB channel 12B until January 19, 2012. Due to the restart of the digital radio, a channel change was carried out, the programs of the Deutschlandradio are no longer broadcast.
