German Language - Fönwelle

Expert: Kurt Bamert - 4/7/2006

Question
Greetings, and many thanks for the recent help.

Here's the context: Die „Fönwelle“: Dieter Thomas Kuhn (download des Tages)

Please, what does Fönwelle mean here? My dictionary says something about a hairdryer, but it doesn't fit.

Cheers,

Simon
