Italy On Medium Waves

By Antonello Napolitano

Welcome to this first edition of “List of private MW stations in Italy”. Unlike other lists that you can find over the Internet, this publication only lists stations currently on the air or temporarily off-air.

Also included is information on how to contact the stations (E-mail and Web sites), QSL policies and when known transmitter powers and future plans.

I have compiled this list by assembling information received directly from the stations and my own research. I have done my best to keep mistakes to a minimum. Feedback from DXers with corrections and/or comments on the usefulness of this publication are always welcome.

The majority of Italian MW stations are modest affairs, with limited technical knowhow, small budgets and few trained personnel. These factors result in a lack of definitive information that is standard in most other countries of the world.

Solid data on hours of transmission, programmes, frequencies, and contacts are difficult to obtain because station practices themselves change often.

Transmitters are often homemade, limited to a power output in the range of 20-100 watts and connected to very simple antennas, so reception is generally restricted to city limits.

Another point to be mentioned is the fact that frequencies sometimes change, and new ones or old ones appear or reappear.

With a few exceptions, most stations go on the air during weekends and/or the frequencies rarely tend to be used all the day.

Last but not least: most stations operate from the North of Italy (especially from the regions of Lombardia and Veneto), a few from the central part of the country (Toscana and Emilia Romagna) and, after the disappearance of Gold 1593 located in Sicily, virtually none from the South.

In compiling this list I have been helped by the ideas and information from some Dxers who have monitored the frequencies used by the Italian private medium wave stations. Special thanks to Roberto Scaglione, administrator of Facebook Group Onde Medie Italia (www.ondemedieitalia.it) targeted at Medium Wave broadcasters and enthusiasts of Italy.
