Compiled by: Herman Boel Roklijf 10 B-9300 Aalst Vlaanderen (Belgium) voice: +32 53 711 244 e-mail: [email protected] Homepage: http://www.emwg.info (personal DX Homepage: http://users.pandora.be/hermanb) Edition of December 2002 1. Introduction Contents This publication gives an overview of literally all long and medium wave stations in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Times All times are in UTC: please subtract one hour during European Summer time (unless otherwise stated) if and when you are in a country in the northern hemisphere where Summer time is in order. Geography Only the European part of Russia is listed. At the (official) European side, the oblasts (republics) are: Nenetskiy avt. okrug (Naryan-Mar), Resp. Komi (Syktyvkar), Permskaya obl. (Perm), Resp. Bashkortostan (Ufa), Orenburgskaya obl. (Orenburg). Outside of Europe the following countries are included: Morocco, Tunis, Libya, Algeria, Egypt, Ceuta, Melilla, Canary Islands, Madeira, Azores, Turkey, Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Palestine. Special stations Low power stations in the UK (RSLs/LPAMs) are included only if they are broadcasting full-time or if they operate a regular schedule (e.g on air during sports matches). Pirate stations are not listed (with the possible exception of Ireland, very regular pirate stations, and offshore stations). Abbreviations LPAM: Low Power AM; Px: programme; RSL: Restricted Service License; Tx: transmitter Mo-Tu-We-Th-Fr-Sa-Su: Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday-Friday-Saturday-Sunday Collaborators Without a number of faithful collaborators, this list would not have been possible to make. I would especially like to thank these collaborators for their great help: Steve Whitt, Karel Honzik, Anatoly Klepov, Pentti Lintujarvi, and Robertas Petraitis.
