Bad Dürrheim transmitter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bad Dürrheim transmitter was a facility for medium wave and short wave broadcasting at 48°00'12" N and 8°31'28" E at Bad Dürrheim-Ankenbuck. It was built by the Südwestfunk in 1951 and used for mediumwave and shortwave broadcasting. As transmission antenna for mediumwave, a 120 metre tall guyed mast, which was insulated against ground was used. For the shortwave transmissions a 12 metre tall mast with a diametre of 4 metres was used. In 1962 the facility was given to German Federal Post (Deutsche Bundespost) in order to use it for transmitting the program of Deutschlandfunk. At these days the shortwave transmissions of Bad Dürrheim transmitter were moved to Bodenseesender. Because the program of Deutschlandfunk could be also received well by Ravensburg-Horgenzell transmitter in the area, which Bad Dürrheim transmitter served, it was shut down after the coming into forces of wave plan of Geneva in 1978, where no frequency was applied for it. Today the antennas of Bad Dürrheim transmitter are dismantled.
