Got a question for you. Is the former RIAS transmitter in Berlin still
active on shortwave?


The RIAS went off the air in 1990 or so soon after reunion of both parts
of germany. I don`know if they were active on shortwave.

They were on 6005, perhaps other frequencies. I have a RIAS QSL from 1984
for the 6005 frequency.

I went into
shortwave in the late 90's.
I know that they wer running a medium wave transmitter. The transmitter
site was used for several years after the RIAS went off air by other
stations until the site was closed in mid 90's. They caused too much
interference as the site was located in the city of Berlin.
As you might know the RIAS was controlled by the (western) allied.
Berlin also was not really under german government at that time. All
laws had to go through allied agreeing then.

Maybe you could look into it further to see if they are on shortwave. I
think they may have merged with another station/network?

I re-read what you said and that may indeed be the case that the transmitter
site in Berlin proper may now be off.

Time flies! I thought that it may still have been on, though under a different
name.

So, I guess there are no SW transmitter on then from what would be considered
West Berlin in days past?

That's a shame as another NASWA country is then off shortwave.
