AFRTS no longer broadcasts a regular service direct to listeners on
shortwave. The programs for the most part go by satellite feed to
local stations and wired networks. However, AFRTS does use a SSB
shortwave feed fairly regularly using a low-power transmitter at
Barford St. John, near Banbury, Oxfordshire, in the U.K.
They transmit on only one or two frequencies at a time and the frequen-
cies used depend on propagation conditions. AFRTS has been noted at one
time or another on the following frequencies:
5247.3, 5376.8, 7443 (approx), 7571.8, 8975.5, 9242.3, 9334.3, 9929.3,
10537.8, 12651.3, 13651.3, 16041.2, 16541.4 and 19918.4 kHz.
all lower sideband.
Listeners in Europe might also try for the AFRTS BCB stations in the
Federal Republic of Germany (actually American Forces Network Europe).
In December 1989 when I was in Bern, Switzerland, I could hear AFNE
stations on 873 kHz (Frankfurt, 150 kW), 1107 kHz (5 transmitters on
this frequency), and 1143 kHz (8 transmitters on this frequency).
