I would say that your chances of hearing them increases the farther south you live. R Nacional Arcangel only brodcasts for some few hours every day. I don't remember exactly but they end their brodcast 23.30 UTC. And by the way for you who dont know it they brodcast on 15476 kHz. Which is the other station? What frequency?

I dont know about that. Arcangel is mostly heard here in Swweden in the winter, that is their summer. And i would imagine that they got conditions like the northern part of Sweden in the summer 24 h of daylight. -- !Thomas Grennefors ! proud member off Armaments 2:9-21 !Ericsson Telecom,Karlstad !
