György Dósa: The anti-fading antenna system at Lakihegy December 2,1933 was an important date in radio history. It marked the start up of broadcasting, for Budapest I with a 120 kW transmitter and a 314 metre cigar-shaped antenna began operating at Lakihegy, near Budapest. The structure and use design of the antenna system were unique and in fact are still considered unusual. The antenna tower was a unique iron frame design and counted as a state-of-the-art transmission facility. In this article, the author remembers the transmission system, built on the basis of designs prepared by the Postal Experimental Station, which went into operation over 70 years ago. He underlines the system’s electric properties as well as the operations surrounding the construction and assembly of the antenna tower. Ildikó Várkonyi Makkai: Exhibition of Postal History at Kőszeg The twelfth branch of the Postal Museum opened in Kőszeg, W Hungary, on April 24, 2004. The owner of the historical building in which the museum is located at 3 Rajnis Street, János Hatvani Szabó, contacted the Postal Museum in the autumn of 2003, and offered it the use of a section of the ground floor as a venue for postal history exhibition. The idea behind the concept was that the multi-century old historical building had been owned by postmaster Samuel Gerhauser. The current owner had the worn building renovated to conform to its historical value and the halls now project the special atmosphere needed to become a worthy centre for displaying the Postal Museum’s history of transport display, an exhibition designed by the author. Ildikó Várkonyi Makkai - Éva Grünwald Kozma: Museum exhibits at Pécs’s No. 1 Post Office A postal history exhibit organised in what was once the telegraph hall of Pécs’s No. 1 Post Office at the request of the top managers of the Pécs postal authority opened on October 28, 2003. The idea came from the fact that the grandiose French Renaissance style post office building was nearing its 100th anniversary, and its anniversary-related renovation had just been completed. The permanent exhibit, which has become the 11th branch of the Postal Museum, offers a brief history of the Pécs office as well as the artefacts and documents collected over several decades. The authors, who are also curator and executor of the exhibit, review the permanent display as well as a temporary exhibition on show in the colonnaded hall of the building. 331
