As some of you may know Denmark has just one MW radio station, with one or two more planned. Since December 2019 Radio208 has been on air on the legendary frequency of 1440 kHz which Radio Luxembourg used for many years. The station name derives from the wavelength 208 metres (which is equal to 1440 kHz). Power is 500 watt.
Radio208 plays a selection of progressive, classic rock tracks and punk from 1964-1984.
Check this morning of various remote SDR’s indicates that Radio208 is heard quite well in most Europe.
Give it a try. Reception reports are most welcome to mail@radio208.dk

Recently, the North American DX club, IRCA, has released to the
public more than 900 past articles from their publication, DX Monitor.
Since 1964, the International Radio Club of America has been documenting medium wave DXing and DXers’ efforts to improve their understanding of radio reception and to develop better listening techniques.  During that time, over 900 articles have been written, that have furthered the art of DXing. 
Many of these continue to be relevant to the more general radio hobbyist, including articles about antennas, radio propagation, receivers and accessories, plus general technical information.
Previously, those articles were available only to club members, but they are now available to all.  Go to www.ircaonline.org, and click on the “Free IRCA Reprints” button to download your own copies.
