Picking Up BBC In New England in Evening: Suggestions Requested, Please ?
Hello:
New at this. Might anyone please suggest some frequencies that it "might" be possible to pick up the BBC direct from England on ? Live outside of Boston, and would like to listen between, e.g., 7 and 11 PM (Boston time). Thanks, Bob |

On MF, you get BBC Radio 5 (sports) on 693 and 909 kHz and also the low- powered local radio stations. You also get BBC World Service on 648kHz which may be receivable. There are dozens of BBC World Service frequencies on HF. All of the other stations are FM only or digital (DAB/DVB/Satellite) only. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/reception/radio_transmitters/ for transmitters and power. All the stations are available on the Internet (Real Player) at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/ - so you can identify what you might receive. This includes the Welsh, Scottish and Northern Ireland services (and the Welsh language and Scots Gaelic transmissions). Peter |

I use 5.975 in Western Mass. from 5 or 6 PM until midnight. Comes through
clearly on even cheap shortwave radios. Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts Remove nojunk. |

... Live outside of Boston, and would like to listen between, e.g., 7 and 11 PM (Boston time). I have an even easier way for you to listen to BBC World Service (which is what I assume you are inquiring about). Do you have a TV and/or a VCR with a SAP switch? (that's "second audio program"). If so, just tune to the Boston PBS station, WGBH (Channel 2). They carry BBC World Service 24 hours a day on their SAP channel!
