Special:Badtitle/NS90:Milestone-Proposal talk:Koenigs Wusterhausen/Advocate Comments

I am the advocate for this proposal.

The proposed milestone is known enough and the documentation supporting it appropriate. What doesn't work is the citation because it is definitely too long.

I would suggest to shorten it the following way: " In January 1920 in this building experiments of broadcasting voice and music using a longwave aerial started to be performed by technicians of the Koenig Wusterhausen radio station together with employees from the Telegraphentechnisches Reihcsamt. In December 1920 tests reached such a level that an instrumental concert - the so-called Christmas concert - could be transmitted. This transmission is regarded as the birth of commercial broadcasting in Germany, three years before its official start."

Moreover the title should read: " Germany's first broadcast from the Koenig Wusterhausen radio station. 20 December 1920"
