Hi All,

The following stations are allocated to this range of frequencies:

171	Russian transmitter at Kaliningrad 1.2MW well received here
171	Lvov, Ukraine. 1MW (not heard)	
171	Osipovicy, Bielo Russia. 1MW (not heard)	
171	Moscow, Russia. 500kW (not heard)	
171	Nador, Morocco. 1.2kW (not heard)	
171.875	TV Line Oscillator harmonic (heard)
177	"Deutschlandradio Berlin" Zehlendorf/Oranienburg (100kW 13E24/52N48) strong station here
180	Ankara, Turkey. 1.2MW	heard
183	Europe 1 (Saarlouis 2MW 06E41/49N17) very strong here
186	Iceland (not heard)	 
187.5	TV Line Oscillator harmonic (heard)	 
188.5	"RAI Due" Caltanisetta/sicily 10kW 14E04/37N30 heard
189	Iceland Broadcast (reported active)
189	Belogorsk, Russia. 1.2MW heard

In addition
162	TDF, Allouis (Radio France Inter) 2MW
is a strong station in Europe.

The one to avoid is Europe 1, Saarlouis, which uses an enhanced mode of amplitude modulation with wide sidebands.

73, John, G4CNN
