This site of course has a very interesting history, having been a key site during the days of the GDR, but has been unused since 2008 following the closure of Truck Radio. It has a 10kW transmitter which can also transmit in DRM mode at 2.7 kW, and a 190 metre antenna mast.(Tore Larsson, ARC via KBC Radio, biener-media.de via Andy Sennitt, RN Media Network)
KBC Radio via Biener-Media in Germany has published a press release informing they will test the old GDR-transmitter in Burg on 531 kHz to see if the signal is doing anything during the nightly hours. The transmitter of 10 kW and a 190 m antenna mast was heard very good in southern Sweden during the GDR-era. Keep an eye on the frequency. (Bengt Ericson, ARC)
