old German radio question

WWII radios were all fairly low frequency (due to the technology limitations of the time), mostly the lower short waves, that sort of area.
 
Neither Marconi nor Tesla can catch a break with all the revisionist history being taught by incompetent teachers in worthless schools.
 
Are you suggesting that Cain & Abel constructed the first ark?
That King Henry VIII was really Henry XIV?
That Columbus really landed on a mid-Atlantic sand bar?
That God truly is of a gender and that She created man as a joke?
That the chicken did come before the egg?
That explosions in deep space do generate audible noise regardless if we aren't there to witness it?


 
Der Fueher gefiddlin mitten der knobben, und spricken gerhindenbarken ober der tinnencannen und stringen, und der gerfootensolder und der tankencommander gerstretchen das stringenthingen und say Ya Vohl, or sumpenkinder.

The text at the bottom of mechies' photo states "Kurzwellenfunksender" which means shortwave transmitter. To the right the text states 3750 to 16750 khz, again shortwave rather than longwave.

Where did you take that photo, Freidrichshafen?

His grandfather took the pic just before he was shot down (sunk?) by your grandfather.
The thrills of war, maybe it was the other way around.
 
Telefunken haydays

Yes to the location -
Zeppelin Museum Friedrichshafen Technik and Kunst
https://www.zeppelin-museum.de/

Frequency ? I'm confused, the panel meter (made by Weston) implies a different range.
I won't argue either way - I took the photo a couple of years ago and didn't title it 'till a few days later - hectic business visit - only got an hour to look around and the museum deserves at least a full afternoon.

Any comment on date ? would Hitler have used on of these ?

Hmm... are there many ex WWII Nazis in Scotland ?

The Weston meter is an RF ammeter, measuring the antenna current and I assume it is calibrated in amps. Rather confusing.

The caption says Telefunken 1927 to 1938 (as best I can see), it also says "in year 1928...) at which point my German fails me!

My father was from Kent in southern England and was 18 years old in 1945, a bit young to participate in most of the "unpleasantness" with Herr Hitler and his followers.
