AFN - American Forces Network main Center European MW outlet

STRUCK of LIGHTNING, on Friday 15th?

Hoi folks,

since yesterday AFN [Frankfurt] Weiskirchen on MW 873 kHz is off the air
totally. Horst Schmidt told in A-DX Newsletter that AFN announced on AFN
2nd network via FM tx Feldberg on Taunus lower mountain 98.7 MHz, 100 kW,
due of a STRUCK of LIGHTNING the MW outlet is totally out of service for
the time being.

Here in southern Germany, I heard Stara Zagora Bulgaria yesterday
afternoon, and the Spanish stn today morning at 0500 UTC, instead.

Betreff:AFN mediumwave station on 873 kHz

 
Gentlemen,

We have noticed that AFN is not audible anymore on mediumwave 873 kHz.

Could you please inform us if this is for temporary maintenance works. Or
has this most powerful transmitter of AFN in Europe been switched off
forever?

We should be very glad for an early reply.

Yours sincerely,

Michael Bethge
