[A-DX] Sender "Donau" 922 kHz 325.4 meter

["Wolfgang Bueschel_web" <BueschelW@xxxxxx>]

Weiss ein Mitleser welcher Sender sich im Grossdeutschen Rundfunk auf
922 kHz 325.4 m unter "Danube" - Donau nannte, war das der nachmalige
ORF Linz Kronstorf - dann 890 kHz - Standort, oder ein Zweitsender in
Wien Bisamberg?

Linz scheint aber auch auf 1267 kHz 236.8 m auf.

Frequenz-Tabellen aus 1947-1949 zeigen dagegen die CSR Sender Brno 100 kW
und Komarov 20 kW auf der 922 kHz. (wb, Apr 6)



SOUTHERN  EUROPEAN  REPORT with Stefano Valianti-Italy.

Some 62 years ago ... that is Italian Radio in April 1943.

Still a little more than three months before the fall of Il Duce Benito
Mussolini as head of the Italian Government, and two years before Italy is
completely liberated from Nazi-Fascism by American and Commonwealth troops.
Radio in April 1943 is that of a country at war. There were many
transmissions of "news to the homeland" and "news from the homeland". The
former was broadcast on "all existing medium waves" and consisted of reports
from soldiers still fighting or hospitalised in occupied territories. The
latter (news from Italy) was broadcast on short waves and targeted to the
police forces in Italian African territories [now Libya and Somalialand,
wb.] (daily at 1850-1905 on 25,40 and 19,61 metres), to Italian civilians in
Italian East Africa at 1905-2000 on the same wavelengths.

Four broadcasts were aimed at maritime workers in East Asia (daily 1525-1530
on 15.31 and 19.38 metres), Middle East (daily 1555-1600 on 25.40 and
19.38), South America (daily at 0250-0255 on 30.74, 29.04 and 19.61) and -
most surprising of all - Ireland (on 19.61 metres, the first day of each
month at 1245-1250: with five minutes monthly, this must be the tiniest
international service ever broadcast).

Also the home services were those of a country at war. There were two
programmes, "A" and "B", but for many hours a day they were simulcasting.
Programme "A" was on 1140[Trieste], 1059[Bari], 814[Milan], 713[Rome] and
527[? Ljubljana/Krajn now SVN] kHz, though from 2030 1140 was used for
external services. "B" was on 1357[Genua, Milan, Torino], 1303[Bologna,
Naples?], 1222[Venice], 610[Florence] and 536[Sardegna, Bolzano] kHz, with
1357 also used for external services.

The Radiocorriere magazine of 1943 also had a column with "Radio programmes
of Allied Nations" (there was just one: Germany). I must say that Nazi
German programmes were not as much political and military as one might
expect: there were many concerts, Strauss music, news and sports. By the
way, while Italian stations closed down at 2330, German programmes continued
well into the night. And this is the complete list of frequencies:

Alps 886[Graz Dobl]         Hamburg 904[Moorfleet]
Berlin Tegel 841            Böhmen 1113[Prag II 60 kW]
Bremen 758                  Breslau 950
Köln 658[Langenberg]        Danube 922 [?likely Linz Kronstorf, wb]
Königsberg 1031[Heilsberg]  Munich 740[Ismaning]
Stuttgart 574[Mühlacker]

all 100 kW, plus

Deutschlandsender 191 kHz longwave, 150 kW[Herzberg]
Leipzig 785, 120[Wiederau]            Vienna 592, 120[Bisamberg]
Vistula (Poland) 224 longwave, 120    Brno Protectorate 1158, 32
Prague Protectorate 638 kHz, 120 kW.

And every evening there was a light and dance music programme at 2015-2200
relayed by the stations of Alps and Vistula plus Belgrade on [686 kHz] 437.3
metres and Luxembourg on longwave [232 kHz] 1293 metres. I presume this is
the programme where the famous Lili Marlene song was first broadcast.
