Talk:Roumoules radio transmitter

Interesting article about one of the most powerful broadcasting stations of the world.

Exclave / Extraterritorial area?

This claim seems dubious to me.

First, "exclave" and "extraterritorial" mean two different things.

Second, tracing back through the ancestry of this page, it looks like the sole support for this claim dates back to the German page on Roumoules, which originally read, "In der Nähe von Roumoules betreibt Radio Monte Carlo seit 1974 eine große Sendeanlage für Lan- und Mittelvelle, wobei das Gebiet dieser Anlage eine Exklave von Monaco ist."

On 10 July 2006, someone removed the "Exklave" reference, reporting "Staatsrechtlich keine Exklave von Monaco". Indeed, French cadastral maps show no the transmitter site as just ordinary property.

I'm not an expert on all the weirdness of European boundaries and international treaties, but this doesn't seem quite right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MikeTheActuary (talk • contribs) 16:53, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Horse powers

Why's the power rating also given in *horse powers*? It's a ridiculous, obsolete non-SI unit which is bad enough to have around with respect to cars, and even there it's being phased out. Let's not introduce it in fields where it makes even less sense. Or /if/ we are to go that route, we clearly should also express the radio transmitting power in hp, not only the generator output. 87.78.143.46 (talk) 10:24, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Agreed, this is absurd. Not even the Americans measure transmitter power in hp. Kendall-K1 (talk) 17:51, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Cessation of use for Radio Monte Carlo on Long Wave

In editing the article I should have quoted my sources. Further to my own observations and those of others, further details come from https://mediumwave.info/news.html as posted on 31 March 2020 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Julesomega (talk • contribs) 23:28, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
