Hello Michael
I have an old Bendix MN-26C Aircraft Navigation receiver and use it in
my workshop that also doubles as my 160 meter ham shack. Of course, I
use my Beverage wires on the BC band and have listened to LW broadcasts
from Europe. Over the last few years, many of the stations have
disappeared, but the last time I tried it, I could hear Droitwich in
England (BBC) and another station in Iceland. The Icelandic station
played all sorts of stuff including rock n' roll. Both stations were in
the 200+ kHz range. I used to hear many more stations around Europe and
even the middle East and North Africa. Signals vary a lot depending on
conditions, just like 160 meters! Droitwich and Iceland were quite
listenable at times.

I wonder if you guys with terrific antenna systems ever use them to try to
listen to European broadcast stations in the 100kc to 300kc area? I've
heard just a few weakly a few years ago.
