Key Details

Equipment Needed: You need a VHF receiver, weather radio, or scanner capable of tuning into the 162.400–162.550 MHz band. Standard AM/FM home radios will not work. [1, 2, 3]
Channel Designations: Consumer radios often label these frequencies as channels WX1 through WX7, though the channel numbers have no official standard order. [1, 2]

DX Fanzine by Antonello Napolitano for AM radio stations listeners

 "Welcome to the 21st edition of “D-Xpress”, a separately mailed, mid-month newsletter. It was introduced in November 2024 as a supplement to the monthly DX Fanzine, which is issued at the end of each month, with the aim to allow a faster release of medium and short wave loggings. This explains why D-Xpress does not include other columns (such as “QSL Review”) which regularly appear in DX Fanzine. As not every subscriber to DX Fanzine is receiving this (new) supplement, loggings that have been included in “D-Xpress” are also repeated in DX Fanzine. “D-Xpress” is planned to be sent out to its subscribers on the 16th day of each month (except for August). Next deadline for DX FANZINE No 157: 29.09.2026 Loggings received after this deadline and before 14th of October, will be included in D-Xpress No. 22! Please send your contributions to: dxf@dxfanzine.com EDITOR: Antonello Napolitano. Web: www.dxfanzine.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/dxfanzine "

Low-power AM radio stations (1,10,100 watts) in the Netherlands

https://www.1332am.nl/

Low-power medium wave (LPAM) radio in the Netherlands consists of licensed AM stations operating with carrier power outputs typically capped at 1 watt or up to 25–100 watts. These hobbyist and community broadcasters operate on the mediumwave band, often reviving classic pirate radio traditions legally. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Key Aspects of Dutch LPAM

Power Limits: Frequencies like 1485 kHz are designated for "real low power" (maximum 1 watt), while other assigned channels permit 25 to 100 watts. []
Station Community: Enthusiasts run localized broadcasts playing oldies, regional Dutch music, or targeted community programming (for example, Radio 4 Brainport in Eindhoven). 
Challenges: Rising regulatory and licensing contributions, high energy costs, and man-made electrical noise ("QRM") have caused a gradual decline in active numbers of registered hobbyists. 
Monitoring & Logs: DX listeners track active frequencies and exchange digital QSL confirmation cards with operators (detailed tracking resources are maintained via overviews like Mediumwave.info and enthusiast blogs like Peter's DX Corner).
