Many thanks to the late Geoff Halligey for the updates additions and corrections. Without his assistance this list would not have been possible.

PLEASE NOTE:- THE INCLUSION OF A STATION ON THE LIST DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE OPERATIONAL, MERELY THAT THEY HAVE REGISTERED THE FREQUENCY AND ARE LISTED IN OTHER PUBLICATIONS.

Stations marked in RED may no longer be operational on the frequency indicated; any reception reports on these stations would be most welcome to the email address below.

Some Meteorological stations transmitting weather maps and information have been included because they transmit marine information.

Although 518 kHz is allocated to Navtex transmissions the stations listed are shown as using CW.

You are reminded that it is an Offence in the United Kingdom, and many other countries to listen to maritime traffic on the listed frequencies without an appropriate licence.

Should you find any errors or have any additions to the list then please email me with the details and source of the information you are providing and I will be pleased to correct, delete or add to the list.
