675khz is a Dutch radio station playing golden oldies type pop records 80% of the time. RTL is on 1440khz with a similar output between 0400-2200Z. Good luck!

It might be a dumb question, but are these frequencies affected by range? If I've understood my Radio Nav correctly, NDB signals only reach so far with accuracy(10 Nm or so?). Will I (flying around in sweden) be able to listen to these frequencies?

low n slow.. MF propagation is greatly enhanced during darkness, particularly around sunrise and sunset. That's if I recall my old ham radio training correctly!

Thumbs up

828 for "Classic Rock", a Dutch Station with plenty of Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, etc.

Heathrow, you don't need any ham radio training, just the memory of listening to Radio Luxembourg back in the 70s.

1215.0 will get you Virgin Radio, or just tune 'WT' in your FMC!
