iw irlrs rr sir 1~ . b arie the station was being overhauled and set up in the basement of the &nbassy by a group 25X1
of mechanics under the control of Ing Doll (fnu).
2, The obsolete KN 2 type transmitter set of the East German Embassy in Peking was to
be replaced by a K N 3 >.tth two VHF transmitters, each with a transmitting power of l5 kW, By
reens of a separating filter the station opernter3 tailh a single anteii, a
compoaerd of four superposed crops dipoles from the I' ant for Telecomrunic,atior..,,
1'he two transmitters operated with a frequency of 93.. and 92,,8 mos. The
Rheinsberg station was the first one equip' ed with tt.,ro transmitters The
jessen VHF transmitter station was also to be equippecd tiith a second transmitter.
10:, After the flight of '''r Erich `' chuettioeftel+ the TE." Deportment (Technical
evelopment Antennas) was divided into two departments:
TEA I: Development of long wave - and VHF antennas under the control of
Dipl Ing Geschwinde (feu) and
TEA 1: Develcrnent of centimeter antennas under the control of Vlpl Ing :tudulf
f'anthev
TEA 1 had received the research orders in the
ielri of medium wave antennas;, The comnleted unite were to be tested for
their radiation characteri.stice and center base impedances The units involv,R(I
were the lsrge transmitter stations near Burg}, "chwerin and W'ilydruff near
Dresden,,, By using additional turfing units, the antennas were to be equipped fop
broad ba:ic aperation and the short range facing was to be elir:insted., In the
beginning? experipl?nts to determine proper antenna charact.crirti!cs were
::ort !uc t;Pti with m&&el antennas. Reception was to remain equally good even
with a frequency changes tlthough these problems had been solved
tnecretically, it was necessary to determine the optimum value for each
tr,znsmitt.er separately
it On 25 Septetrioer 1951, the TES (Technical Development Transmitters) gave an
activity report.. In,- Asinz '.sir b department chief., had some time before been
removed from the con:.rnl o" the develo?iment of the SL I to IV type
transmitters and was charged with special development projects., .ein'rs part
in the construction of the "SL" transmitters was discussed in detail,, i'ersons
complained that instead of sufficiently Instructing his staff on the
development project, he had given individual orders, an-3 had purchased en
endless amount of single parts for the SL 11 transmitter which were not
actually reouirer Ing ::eii n made his own deferse s At the end of the meeti nx;
however, he urns informed by Schaeffer (fnu), BPO (plant party organization
secretan,)), that he was dismissed as of the same day, and was escorted to the
i;-ue by two ,embers of the rlent eeeurity service.
