- 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 frequencies
- used depend on propagation conditions. AFRTS has been noted at one time or
- another on the following frequencies (all lower sideband):
-
- 5247.3 kHz
- 5376.8
- 7443 (approx)
- 7571.8
- 8975.5
- 9242.3
- 9334.3
- 9929.3
- 10537.8
- 12651.3
- 13651.3
- 16041.2
- 16541.4
- 19918.4 kHz.
-
- 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).
