Any idea how hard it is to receive from the Eastern US? Steve |

One other thing is that those ISL broadcasts MAY be in USB, not sure but I seem to recall that they were in the past. Maybe someone else might confirm or deny that.. dxAce Michigan Steve |

I'm currently hearing AFRTS 9980 out of Iceland //12133.5 out of Key West at 1640. So Iceland might be audible on 13865 at 1755-1825. dxAce Michigan Steve |

Thanks for the link.
I haven't tried checking yet, but here's what I cobbled from the Icelandic service. 1215-1300 UT to Europe - 15775 kHz 1410-1440 UT to N.America - 15775 kHz 1755-1825 UT to Europe - 13865 kHz 1835-1905 UT to N.America - 15775 kHz 2300-2335 UT to N.America - 13865 kHz Again, these b'casts might be in sideband, I will have to check. Thanks! |

I have picked up AFRTS with a strong signal here in southern California on 13855 USB and 7590 USB but that was some time ago. I have not heard them on 9980 yet but I have not tried. If Iceland broadcasts in english I'll give them a try. Do they broadcast in english? What do you think would be the best time for me to try to hear them? -- Telamon Ventura, California |

The only English I have heard there is the occasional station ID, I had
heard in the past they did a few mins of news in English, but I never caught that myself. I was recently on Cape Breton Island (North-East Nova Scotia) and tried to catch Iceland on some old frequencies, I figured if they came in fairly well in Ontario, Cape Breton should have been a breeze. Next time I'll come with the correct rreqs. Great to hear they're still on, a couple years ago on Media Network (Radio Nederland) I heard a report that Iceland would be taking their transmissions off SW. "Telamon" wrote in message ...

No English but 13865 at 2300-2335 might make it to you, or the 15775 b'cast at 1835-1905 might make it. dxAce |
