Preface & Copyright
Welcome to the Euro-African Medium Wave Guide
What lies in front of you or what you see on your computer screen is the result of a lot of hard work and love.
In the mid-1990s I was becoming more and more interested in medium wave, in particular the European medium
wave. I noticed that the sources I used to consult, the WRTH and Sender&Frequenzen, mostly contained concise
frequency lists with nothing more than the frequency, station name and power output. This lead to a continuous
browsing between pages to get as much information as possible and make DXing easier. Just like many other DXers
I started to make my own list with the information I could find. That information came especially from various club
bulletins, but also from messages in the DXAntwerp Bulletin Board System. This was the internet's predecessor and
meant a true revolution for DXers who could now exchange information through their computer.
At the time the
EMWG
was still called the
Long and Medium Wave Guide for Europe, North Africa, and the Middle
East
and was initially drawn up in the Flemish language. As non-Flemish speaking DXers also became interested I
switched to English and uploaded the list at regular intervals onto the DXA Bulletin Board.
Initially a modest attempt to help myself with the hobby, the list soon turned out to be a hole in the market. The
later renamed
European Medium Wave Guide
caught on well, and thanks to some renowned DXers and DX clubs, the
publication became more and more professional.
At the end of 2002 the EMWG could be consulted on-line and was now even more being kept up-to-date.
In December 2004, the EMWG was merged with James Niven's
African Medium Wave Guide
and subsequently
covered not only the whole of Europe and the Middle East, but the whole of Africa as well.
Today, it is an indispensable tool for the medium wave DXer.
I truly hope you will enjoy and benefit from the EMWG during your DX activities.

EURO-AFRICAN MEDIUM WAVE GUIDE - EDITION: SEPTEMBER 2005
Introduction to the EMWG
Contents
This publication gives an overview of literally all long and medium wave stations in Europe, 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. However, please note that some stations do not move with Summer Time and keep programmes aligned with UTC. These are mainly
international cross border broadcasters. Also North Africa and parts of Middle East do not observe Summer/Winter time differences. Other countries (e.g. Israel)
move from Summer/Winter time on different dates to Western Europe.
Geography
The countries listed in this publication can be seen on the ITU list of EMWG countries (see page 8).
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).
As for the coordinates information, please note that they are expressed in degrees and minutes.
Special stations
Low power stations in the UK (RSLs/LPAMs) as well as DRM stations 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
Feedback & Update information
This list is by no means considered to be entirely correct and complete. Your feedback is most welcome and will help improving this list so it meets the needs of all
users. You are welcome to join the EMWG mailing list at

EURO-AFRICAN MEDIUM WAVE GUIDE - EDITION: SEPTEMBER 2005
Introduction to Long and Medium Wave
On shortwave the tropical bands are known as the bands to listen to local, regional and also some international radio stations. What does this have to do with medium
wave, you will ask. Well, medium wave has the same function, but on a European scale. This can seem less interesting, but it is not. As Europeans, we generally feel more
related to the European cultures, of which we do not always know that much about. Also the reception possibilities are much more favourable, so you do not need any
specialised equipment.
General Information
The majority of broadcasters on medium wave are
local stations
. The transmitter is usually situated in the middle of the target area, which generally covers part of
the country. The programmes consist of music and local information/advertising. Transmitter power ranges from 1 Watt to 100 kiloWatt, depending on the size of the
target area and the interference that can be expected from other stations.
Mainly in Spain and the UK network stations occupy the band. These stations all broadcast the same programmes, except for some local interruptions. Sometimes the
same frequency is being used by different transmitters. These are so-called
synchronised networks
; examples are BBC Radio 5 Live (693 & 909 kHz) and Virgin
1215.
Regional stations
occur mainly in Spain. They cover a larger area of the country than local stations. Apart from Spain, this is a typically American type of station.
Due to the relative smallness of the European countries, medium wave is ideal for
international stations
. Contrary to other continents, some high power transmitters
suffice to guarantee a large coverage.
Another type of stations are
micro-power stations
, such as the British LPAM stations. These stations usually transmit with only 1 Watt of power, just enough to cover
the area of a school, football field or hospital. Despite the limited power, these stations are sometimes heard hundreds of kilometres further on.
Finally, medium wave is also a favourite band for
clandestine
and
pirate stations
. The clandestine stations can be found mainly in the Middle East, the pirate stations
are located especially in The Netherlands, UK, Greece, and Serbia.
Several
other stations
can be found on medium wave (navigation beacons, utility stations), but we only cover broadcast stations here.
News & current affairs
Many listen to medium wave for information on current affairs. You can listen the whole day long to some broadcasters to keep up-to-date with the news. There is of
course the renowned
BBC World Service
which can be heard in English on 648 kHz 24 hours per day.
Then there is something like
Talkradio
, a programme concept wherein current and less current affairs are discussed, but with direct participation from the listeners
(usu. over the phone). These kind of programmes are known to be rather dull and these stations do not really enjoy a great success. Try Talkradio UK (1053 & 1089
kHz).
