Radio Menschen and Geschichten special broadcast August 16

Armenia

Radio Menschen and Geschichten is planning a one-off broadcast (presumed in German) on Sunday 16 August, via Armenia relay, form 1800 UTC (assumed for one hour) on 7500 kHz using 300kW transmitter in Armenia with a directional antenna to Germany.

Topics include:
Almost 40 years ago, the legendary Radio Andorra was shut down by the authorities. Since 1981, the impressive station building in Encamp, just outside the capital of the Principality has been empty. Restoration and cleaning work started 6 years ago. Andorra National Archives and Private Companies tried to save what was still there. But then a setback: asbestos. Among other things, we talk to Mireia Garcia from RETOC restauració, who was instrumental in the work. Full story on Sunday on radio. People and stories.

August 15., 2020 Radio Liechtenstein turns 25. This makes Liechtenstein one of the countries that got their own broadcasting station very late. The idea of setting up your own program in the small spot of earth between Switzerland and Austria goes back to the 1930 s. We dug in the archives and tell the story of broadcasting in Liechtenstein from the first ideas, a short broadcasting period 1938/1939 to very ambitious projects in the 1970 s, all of which were doomed to fail until the country in 1995 finally got his national station. Listening in the upcoming issue of radio. People and stories August 16., 2020.
