The Voice of America operated until 1994 near the station of the Bavarian Broadcasting company a large shortwave transmission facility, which is nowadays completely demounted. The medium wave transmission facility of the Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty operated by the International Broadcasting Bureau was shut down in March 2005. It consists of four guyed steel framework masts, which are insulated against ground. These masts were built in 1949 and renovated in the nineties and allow the realisation of a directional aerial with changeable directional characteristic.
