Pals Radio Station Museum

On March 23th, 1959, at 3:05 a.m., local time, this Telefunken transmitter made the very first broadcast ever made from this station. The transmitter employed a temporary rhombic antenna and derived its power from a diesel-driven generator. The transmitter was protected by canvas because the building was still unfinished. The Telefunken was a powerful 100KW transmitter and, according to what I heard, its tuning system was semiautomatic.

When I began to work here, this transmitter already had been replaced by the Marconi unit. Most of the photografies do not have explanation due to I ignore what they are, but in the next weeks and being helped by an ex-companion, it will be done as the others transmitters.
