Dear Sir or Madam,
Renovation work on the clamping brackets will be carried out at the DCF49 transmitter site (129.1 kHz) in Mainflingen during the following period.
The work will take place over several days and will require temporary transmitter shutdowns.
Start: 18 May 2026 13:30:00
End: 23 May 2026 18:00:00
Transmitter shutdowns are scheduled between 14:00 and 17:00 on each day:
Mon 18 May 2026 NO total shutdown
Tue 19 May 2026 Total shutdown from 14:00 to 17:00

The shutdown time may be postponed, but for health and safety reasons, this is limited to a maximum of 1 hour.
If the work proceeds according to schedule, the shutdown on Saturday may be cancelled; however, please note that deviations from the schedule may occur due to weather conditions or other events. We will inform you promptly in such cases.
Impact on weather forecast data service:
The temporary transmitter shutdowns may affect weather forecast data transmissions starting at 15:00 (UTC).
We are endeavouring to keep the transmission outage as short as possible.
If you have any queries regarding the progress of the work, please contact Mr Sbick (Tel.: 030 39875494 / 0171 2634349; Email: sbick@efr.de).
Thank you for your understanding.
