[Swprograms] BBC Frequency question

["What Dubhghall Does" <whatdubhghalldoes@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello again,

I have been using my "ancient" analogue boom box radio lately.  I do have 
fancier Grundig radios, but this one seems to get better (er rather 
"different") reception for some reason.  Then, rather than carry the 
Grundigs all over the house, I thought I would just use this old one.  That 
way, if I happen to be clumsy then I don't "wreck" an expensive radio that I 
couldn't replace.

I have been trying to figure out the frequency that the BBC is broadcast on 
via Family Radio transmitters.  It is in the 19 meter band. I guess I could 
try to tune in via my Grundigs to figure it out.  I just didn't think of 
that.  The BBC ends at around 18:00UT and they then broadcast Family Radio 
in French.

I now think the frequency would be 15565.  But I can't find that frequency 
listed for that time, on the BBC web site. (To the Americas or Africa) 
Family Radio says they broadcast in French from 18:00UT to 19:00.  The ADDX 
web site lists the BBC as broadcasting on 15565 until 18:00.

I thought I had been listening to 15400.  But I guess that is not the case. 
I re-tuned a few mm away, now I am getting the BBC African service which 
must be on 15400.  If it is the case that I was listening to 15565, then I 
usually find it difficult to tune in to 15400.

It is very frustrating because I couldn't seem to find anything on the 
Family Radio web sit about all the different "stations" that they broadcast. 
(I mean, all the different broadcasters that use Family Radio transmitters.)

Thanks for your help.  Robyn in Michigan
