Hi Marc,
About the 183 frequency, I know that a couple of years ago, the top one
of their four towers collapsed so they have to re-arrange the antenna
array. Based on this article (in German, use a translator)
http://www.saar-nostalgie.de/Europe1Unfall.htm , the power has also been
lowered to 1000 Kw along with a new tower arrangement.
Same result here with a signal decline since then.
