I know some American sports broadcasts can be picked up on DX/AM but
are there any known broadcast from Europe?? I have been able to pick
up matches from South America but was interested in Euro matches. Is
there a "sports" SW guide?
Thanks

BBC and Radio Australia both carry some sports, usually football (soccer)
and rugby. Check their websites.

Good question David.

I've heard some NZ/Australian stuff recently but don't remember where.
As for EuroSports, you'd think so, eh? I know AFN broadcasts sports
often.

The BBC has their Sportsworld program, Saturday 14:05-17:00 UTC,
and Sunday 17:05-18:00 UTC. For Western North America, Try 9740
and 7160.

http://www.bbcworldservice.com or http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice

Radio Australia has Grandstand. They allocate seperate frequencys
for this on their (local time) Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
15240 and 9660, as I remember. (This translates to nightime on
Friday and Saturday for the US).

Anybody else have problems with RA's new web site?
Konqueror under Redhat 7.3 doesn't like the way it's laid
out and chops off huge chunks of various dropdown menus.
(Oh well, I three or four other browsers to try out).

your ISP is home to the newnet irc network main server, eh?

I think the new layout is clunky and slow but it seems to work OK.

How about Japanese shortwave stations? I'm a *big* Sumo fan who has been
*bummed out ever since ESPN (U.S. cable TV sports network) dropped "Sumo
Digest"*!

Radio Exterior de Espa=F1a regularly broadcasts futbol (i.e., soccer)
games during European evening hours, or afternoon hours on the east
coast of the US. I used to hear them on 15110 kHz, but that frequency
appears to be in used by Deutsche Welle. Try 9630 kHz at about 2000
UTC. The games don't seem to be on the schedule, but I know I hear
them.
