Apparently my reply was swallowed in cyberspace. The ITU divides up
the world into regions CIRAF (I dont know what that means) but the

When ILG and others do their SW charts they determine what (ITU CIRAF)
region the target of their signal is. I am 8 so anything targeted
towards me and I receive it means it's an EASY SIGNAL.

A CIRAF number in the 50's iirc is North africa. If I can receive a
signal ILG says is shooting to North Africa, that is a coup

I think the broadcaster is required to put the target region number
in their request to their national liscensing authority and that just
gets passed on to whoever (the ITU?) publishes the list that's the
input used by the various private database publishers.

There's a map in the FCC regs on international broadcasting.
(47 CFR 73 subpart F). (I suppose I could read the instructions,
but reading the FCC regs is more than my mind can deal with right now).
