   I think the European broadcast band may go even lower than that.  I'm 
pretty sure the BBC radio web site refers quite often to transmissions 
on 198 LW (which I presume denotes khz).  See www.bbc.co.uk/radio4.  The 
long wave frequency is where the ball-by-ball coverage of the recent 
cricket test match was carried.
