Medium Wave Transmissions
In 1969 Dillberg transmitter took over the medium wave transmissions from Nuremberg-Kleinreuth transmitter, which was shut down in this year. As the mast of Dillberg transmitter is grounded, it was equipped with a cage antenna for this purpose. The frequency of the transmitter was, until 1978, 800 kHz and then changed to 801 kHz in 1978 after the waveplan of Geneva went in service. Although it was possible to use also the frequency 909 kHz for Dillberg transmitter, the Bavarian Broadcasting Company decided to run it on 801 kHz forming with Transmitter Ismaning a single frequency network, as operating on 909 kHz would have required an expensive extension of the antenna as directional radiation would be required at night time for this frequency.

“The essence of acting is the conveyance of truth through the medium of the actor’s mind and person. The science of acting deals with the perfecting of that medium.”

“As the bird trims her to the gale,
I trim myself to the storm of time,
I man the rudder, reef the sail,
Obey the voice at eve obeyed in prime:
“Lowly faithful, banish fear,
Right onward drive unharmed;
The port, well worth the cruise, is near,
And every wave is charmed.””
