This is only loss of longwave to Europe.**Plenty*of*SW*freq*avail.**I*don't
know that I've heard of much longwave reception of BBC outside of Europe.
No go with ICOM R-75 in the middle of the North American Continent.

Not much luck with the BBC, some relatively weak signals late in the
evening; however Allouis on 162kHz has been armchair quality several
evenings lately, with 216 almost as strong but with NDB QRM making it
diffcult to copy.

Using a Kenwood TS-850 and 160M sloper.

Fun to listen once in a while but hardly reliable here, much more
reliable on the East Coast when I get the chance.

I don't know about longwave, but when I was in Paris a few years ago,
you could pick up the World Service on 648 MW. The signal was ok, not
exactly booming in, but you could listen to the news....

Of course both LW and MW are highly subsceptible to local interference
(electrical appliances, computers, etc) so your mileage may vary....

I live in Istanbul and i can listen to BBC world service very clear on
1323 kHz at evenings and nihgts

Re Istanbul: Thanks for that. I will be in that part of the world in a
few days and wondered what I would be able to hear in the evenings and
at night.
