British DX Club
Guide to External Services and

Foreign / Minority Languages
on Mediumwave
Schedules and notes on external services

and foreign / minority language programmes
broadcasting on mediumwave in
Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia
October 2017
This is a frequency order guide to external services and foreign/minority language programmes broadcasting on
mediumwave in Europe, Middle East & Caucasus, Asia and Africa. It is compiled with the intention of highlighting some
of the more interesting services and programmes for the DXer and mediumwave listener.
Many external services originate from high-power transmitters and offer a good opportunity to hear and identify more
distant stations on mediumwave, especially as the use of clear ID's and familiar interval signal tunes often makes it
easier to pick them out on a crowded channel.
The inclusion of programmes and services in foreign and minority languages may help to identify the source of exotic-
sounding programmes that may originate from somewhere nearer to home. These are mainly broadcast by domestic
stations and are often intended for minority groups, foreign workers and tourists, and may offer an interesting
alternative to normal programming from a particular radio station or country.
Please note that this is NOT a complete guide to what is broadcasting on mediumwave.
For a detailed list of mediumwave stations, please refer to either of the following:
