Mike, the translation IS CORRECT.
Muehlacker mediumwave TX location since 1931year will remain only as a
single FM tx installation and fm+tv transmitter engineer central service
point for SWR tx in south western Germany.
At present the station needs 380.000 EURO main power costs anualy.
9 engineers still work as bcing and maintenance central point at present.
In the 60ties the Muehlacker station had its peak power with SDR and AFN
Stuttgart location, served by 69 employees and engineers. This figure given
on a recent sightseeing tour in April 2010, when I visited the tx stn for
the fourth time in past 40 years.
Google Earth shows still the old SW 6030 kHz shortwave dipol, in north-south
lobe azimuth direction.

Subject: [dxld] Sudwestrundfunk to close medium wave transmitters?
Based on my limited understanding of German and google translate it seems
that Sudwestrundfunk may be closing all its medium wave transmitters by
the end of next year.
This press item includes a video of the Muhlacker site:

Item on dxaktuell.de listing the transmitters:

Could German speaking list members say whether I have understood this
correctly please as if so will be of interest to other lists and
messageboards I use.
