Re: [HCDX] Radio Luxembourg callsigns
Back in 1951 when almost every SW station had a call sign I find that "Guide
to Broadcasting Stations" issued by 'Wireless World' shows Luxembourg listed
with 5kW on 6090, 9528 and 15350 but only 6090 had the call letters LXA.
Post WWII I cannot ever recall hearing call letters announced - SW was
always forty-nine point two six metres. Actual pre-WWII recordings of the
station (in English) seem to be very rare as it's understood that the
station actually destroyed their library of programmes, but quotes seem to
suggest that only station name and wavelength were used. I assume that any
call letters were purely academic - perhaps allocated by the LUX
govt/telecoms or ITU? However, as I understand it, LUX was never allocated a
long wave frequency until whatever followed the Copenhagen Plan. In 1951
their frequency/wavelength is listed as 233 kHz 1288 metres 150kW and as
"operating on a frequency not allocated to the country in the Copenhagen
Plan".
