Use in Italy

Replacing pre-war tests in 343 lines, broadcasts using the 441 lines system began in Italy in 1939 with regular services from Rome using 2 kW power and Milan using 400 W power in the frequency band of 40-45 MHz. Broadcasts were discontinued on May 31st 1940.

As in France, all technical data - VHF frequencies excepted - were identical to those in use in Germany.
