- AFRTS no longer broadcasts a regular service direct to listeners on
- shortwave. The programs for the most part go by satellite feed to
- local stations and wired networks. However, AFRTS does use a SSB
- shortwave feed fairly regularly using a low-power transmitter at
- Barford St. John, near Banbury, Oxfordshire, in the U.K.
-
- They transmit on only one or two frequencies at a time and the frequen-
- cies used depend on propagation conditions. AFRTS has been noted at one
- time or another on the following frequencies:
-
- 5247.3, 5376.8, 7443 (approx), 7571.8, 8975.5, 9242.3, 9334.3, 9929.3,
- 10537.8, 12651.3, 13651.3, 16041.2, 16541.4 and 19918.4 kHz.
-
- all lower sideband.
-
- Listeners in Europe might also try for the AFRTS BCB stations in the
- Federal Republic of Germany (actually American Forces Network Europe).
- In December 1989 when I was in Bern, Switzerland, I could hear AFNE
- stations on 873 kHz (Frankfurt, 150 kW), 1107 kHz (5 transmitters on
- this frequency), and 1143 kHz (8 transmitters on this frequency).
