For the MW the place of the transmitter is not important

https://www.mwlist.org/mwlist_quick_and_easy.php?area=1&kHz=648&twente=1#kHz648

In fact i received a message because the rules were not clear for the medium wave.

"What I was wondering was, I hear tons of Medium Wave stations from Spain here in the evenings. Do I count every station that I am able to hear from there even though for example I can hear Radio Nacional on numerous different frequencies throughout the dial , just that they are broadcast from different transmitters. I guess what I mean to ask is do I count every station of Radio Nacional on each different frequency by different transmitters or do I only count say Radio Nacional or Onda Cero Radio from Spain one time or for that matter Spain itself only once. Thanks for any clarification regarding this. "

My answer:

So you can listen tons of MW radios stations

You can listen and log Radio Nacional on numerous different frequencies.

YES you can count every station of Radio Nacional on each different frequency by different transmitters. On Shortwave the rules are not the same.

Thank you.


For the shortwave SW the transmitter place is very important

It is not necessary to be registered to enter this contest 2025

The goal on SW it to listen maximum of SW transmitters in the world.

SW transmitter are sometimes used by different radios stations.

To identified the radio and SW transmitter you can use this free website

You must be sure to identified the radio station for exemple with these books or CD

         Valid October 27, 2024 - March 30, 2025

If a transmitter is used by different radio stations it is possible to list all the radio stations

Example if you listen RFI Radio France Int from transmitter in Issoudin France you can log only one time this radio station from this transmitter even you listen this station on different bands.

KBS World radio use also the transmitter of Issoudun so its valid to log KBS from this transmitter in France.

KBS World radio broadcast also from 3 other transmitters in the world so you can log this radio station on 4 different transmitters.

For China they are CRI, PBS and CNR. I wrote and article about these stations and transmitters

Language or band ( frequencie ) are not important
