In the decades in which broadcasting was carried out on a large scale on long, medium and short wave, transmitter sites were created whose names themselves became synonymous with broadcasting. These included Königs Wusterhausen in Germany and Hörby in Sweden. Radio transmitters on medium and short wave were in operation near the small town of Hörby in southern Sweden for several decades.

This book tells the story of a large medium wave transmitter and three generations of powerful short wave transmitters in Hörby. One episode is the transfer of the medium-wave transmitter’s output stage to the Funkerberg Museum in Königs Wusterhausen.
