Well, not quite.  If you hear anything from Germany on that QRG,
it will be Deutschlandradio Cologne (aka Deutschlandfunk).
BTW - isn't there some kind of regulation in the US which allows
amateur radio broadcasts with diminutive transmitter power on LW?

In todays installment of WWCRs biweekly "Ask WWCR" Mailbag program, listeners
were encouraged to make use of the stations Website to obtain program
schedules. According to their statements the flow of regular mail is just too
great to keep up with. If you do not have access to the Web, you are
equested
to enclose a SASE with your letter.
In answering a listeners question they also gave their rates for air time.
A half hour of programming apparently can be had for $99 and 60 minutes will
cost you $150. Quite affordable it seems to me.

Read a message a while back when you were asking for frequencys for
UK spec cordless phones, my book gives the following
DTI Approved Phones
Channel     Base        Mobile
1           47.45625    1.6420
2           47.46875    1.6620
3           47.48125    1.6820
4           47.49375    1.7020
5           47.50625    1.7220
6           47.51875    1.7420
7           47.53125    1.7620
8           47.54375    1.7820
Frequencys in mhz.
As the mobile frequencys are in the shortwave I guess the subject
must be on topic, I think they fall in the 160 metre band if my
memory serves me correct.
What I must say to you is do not put these frequencys in your
scanner or listen to them, as far as I know it is illegal to listen
to them, but as the frequencys are widely published in books etc I
cannot see it is illegal to inform you of them.

   Interesting. I hope that we'll get more openings toward NA this winter,
then I'll watch 1130 closely.
