Local Forest Association Visits Cham's Broadcasting Museum Amidst Rainy Weather
Last Sunday, the local forest association section had planned a bike ride from Hohenwarth to Cham. However, persistent rain forced a change in their plans. Instead of cycling, they drove by car to the broadcasting museum in Cham.
Despite the change in travel arrangements, Michael Heller, the founder of the museum, warmly welcomed the visitors. The museum, known for its unique exhibits, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of broadcasting technology.
One of the museum's most captivating exhibits is its own medium-wave transmitter, a unit of the last medium-wave broadcasting transmitter of the Bavarian Broadcasting Company in Ismaning, which shut down in 2015. The museum also boasts a 12-meter mast radiator antenna on its roof, a replica of the last medium-wave broadcasting mast from Ismaning. During the museum's open hours, this antenna transmits historic songs on 801 kHz, adding to the museum's authentic atmosphere.
Beyond the technical exhibits, the museum offers live demonstrations of physics with high voltage and high currents. These demonstrations include visually striking effects like a singing electric arc and the destruction of glass with sound waves, captivating both visitors' eyes and minds.
The local forest association section, with its interest in the intersection of technology, natural phenomena, and heritage preservation, was likely impressed by these distinctive features of the broadcasting museum in Cham.
Some participants had originally planned to bike from Hohenwarth to Cham for the museum visit. However, the rain prevented this, and they arrived at Cham by car instead. Despite the change in circumstances, the museum visit proved to be an engaging and educational experience for the local forest association section.
