Long wave radio frequencies
These are a few of the stations that are still broadcasting on the long wave band. I still have not recovered from the shock of the BBC closing the famous 198 kHz /1500 metre Radio 4 transmitter at Droitwich. As well as serving the UK it also could be heard over much of Western Europe. Anyway, here’s what left..,
