Default a longwave thread

I just joined Digital Spy forums a few days ago, and there seems to be
an issue with longwave threads in the broadcast forum being shut down
by moderators. So I thought I'd try starting a longwave thread here.

Sounds like the Isle of Man might have a commercial longwave
broadcaster in the near future. I was surprised to hear from other
forum users there that cars in Europe have longwave reception in their
radios. It must be decades since that happened here in the USA.

Anyone have interesting longwave topics to discuss?


Keep listening. In North America there isn't much on Long Wave except a
few aviation navigation beacons. And every year, there are fewer and
fewer of them. You may hear a few differential GPS broadcasts.
However, the best time to listen is in the winter months early in the
morning before sunrise. Then you stand a pretty good chance of hearing
the LW broadcasts from Europe.
