“I’m a SWL-MWL-LWL from Hungary, Europe. I like your blog where I can read about radio news and reviews. You report about new stations if they appear in the air and about closed stations if they disappear from the air. I did not observed any news in your blog about the closed LW stations of the “Deutschlandradio”. There were two frequencies for “Deutschlandfunk” (153 kHz and 207 kHz) and one for “Deutschlandradio-kultur” (177 kHz). Here in the center of the Carpathian Basin – many hundreds kms from the statons – I could hear them very well. But not any more. For some weeks it seems that they have disappeared.<\/p>\n

I checked the website of the German Radio, and on the following pages LW frequencies are not mentioned any more:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.deutschlandradio.de\/frequenzliste-deutschlandfunk.214.de.html<\/a><\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.deutschlandradio.de\/frequenzliste-deutschlandradio-kultur.213.de.html<\/a><\/p>\n

I also checked the http:\/\/www.shortwaveschedule.com\/index.php?now=true<\/a> for more information, but these LW stations are also not shown there. So DLF ended its LW broadcasts definitely.<\/p>\n

I’m sorry for it. Beside this German radio had a great foreign service in the past (DW – also on Hungarian). But it was closed in the last 10-15 years.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks for your message, Attila. Being State side, there are few options for listening to the longwave stations I so enjoyed while living in Europe at various times over the past two decades. With that said, when propagation is in my favor, on winter nights, I occasionally hear faint European LW stations like France Inter on\u00a0162 kHz.<\/p>\n

At some point, I need to dig up a one sheet listing of all longwave stations that are still on the air. Does such a thing exist?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
