I spent some time at Goethe-Institut (fuer Deutscher Sprache)
in 1965. Back then the frequency was 1439. Many of the
students, if not listening to Bayerischer Rundfunk for
language proficiency, would gather in the library after
dinner and a big Telefunken console would belt out the
latest hits from RL, also with a lot of fading. There were
NO TV sets to be found here ... listening to international
AM radio was just something everyone did then.
"208 - your Station of the Stars!" (Meters, of course)
If you wanted English news, it was AFN on 1106 and
what I think was VOA on 872 (memory fades a bit on this one)

Radio Luxembourg on 208 Meters Medium Wave was indeed on the air in the sixties with English pop music and an American DJ aimed at the UK at night while daytime language was mainly French.I can't remember exactly what the equivalent of 208 is in KHz but I think it is around 1410.Bill in BC
