the end of AM

[ViennaSound]

Today the highest building of austria will fell down.
The AM station "Bisamberg" is legendary.
But since 1995 the MW was closed, the rest 2008.
Now no usage for it, so demolition

The north tower will be broken down on 12°°

the south tower will fall down on 15°°

The small aerials

Connections

engine room with diesel aggregats from 1930

control desk

Good bye legendary old radio station :'-(

btw: the only good thing:
It was the only station that sends DAB radio.
So it´s also dead!

Analog rulez!

wow roman that control room is amazing.
am will never die here i mean am is seeing a real resurgence in popularity not so much for music but for other things.
sad to see it go over there.
i think i might actually kill to have that controll desk.

damn.

Shame

Beautiful site and transmitter hall, I love looking at MW/LW transmission sites, find it very interesting.

 

[ViennaSound]

Just talked on radio (FM) about it.
Maybe the engines and the control desk will survive.
The vienna technical museum is interested in it.

Kinda sad......

 

[Radio raheem]

kinda sad but i never use any station apart from fm kina defeats the object of having a good boombox.

 

[ViennaSound]

thanks for covering that interesting story, roman

 

[MasterBlaster84]

Sad Roman but thanks for sharing.
Bill is right about the US AM radio, it's nowhere near dead.

sometimes i wonder whats gonna be left of our culture in the future. i mean everything changes but why does the human race seem to be covering its tracks more and more. i mean i wonder sometimes about what technology and information the human race has obliterated from history. its just really bizzare. sure things change but are they better or just different.
i know this that control desk just from a form point of view is extremely cool.
