Topband: European broadcast stations

[David Olean]

Hello Michael

I have an old Bendix MN-26C Aircraft Navigation receiver and use it in 
my workshop that also doubles as my 160 meter ham shack. Of course, I 
use my Beverage wires on the BC band and have listened to LW broadcasts 
from Europe.  Over the last few years, many of the stations have 
disappeared, but the last time I tried it, I could hear Droitwich in 
England (BBC)  and another station in Iceland. The Icelandic station 
played all sorts of stuff including rock n' roll. Both stations were in 
the 200+ kHz range. I used to hear many more stations around Europe and 
even the middle East and North Africa. Signals vary a lot depending on 
conditions, just like 160 meters! Droitwich and Iceland were quite 
listenable at times.
