Use in Italy

Replacing pre-war tests in 343 lines, broadcasts using the 441 lines system began in Italy in 1939 with regular services from Rome using 2 kW power and Milan using 400 W power in the frequency band of 40-45 MHz. Broadcasts were discontinued on May 31st 1940.

As in France, all technical data - VHF frequencies excepted - were identical to those in use in Germany.

Famous quotes containing the word italy:

    For us to go to Italy and to penetrate into Italy is like a most fascinating act of self-discovery—back, back down the old ways of time. Strange and wonderful chords awake in us, and vibrate again after many hundreds of years of complete forgetfulness.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
