Hi Dale,
Great indeed ! Where are you in the States? on the East coast ? with which
equipment ? I'd like to have an ear there, just to know how these
frequencies sound far away from Europe. It'd be fine if you could record one
of them and send me (us ?) an audio file.
Thanks in advance and merry Xmas

I used to hear those broadcasts routinely at sea with moderate but
consistent signal strengths in the North and South Atlantic. My gosh... the
power they were running! What did that Saudi station run---megawatt or so?

Best DX for me was on 500 kHz. The WLO (Mobile, Alabama) traffic list
announcement heard with excellent signals early one morning near Montevideo,
Uruguay while navigating the La Plata to Buenos Aires.

Sincerely,
RG

Hi Dale,

You probably meant 183, 171 and 162 kHz ?
There is no B'cast on frequencies you mentionned.
Note : Europe 1 (183.0 kHz, 2000 kW), and RMC (216.0 kHz, 1400 kW) are
off-air at night (after 0:00z)
France Inter (162.0 kHz, 2000 kW) off-air on tuesday nights only.

Nice catches indeed, congrats.

Merry Christmas,
Pat.
