Germany-183 (always in French!) was the most reliable here for over 10 years. But, in the last year or so, their signal has seriously declined. Does anyone know why?
In general, this has been the worst year for LWBC since I began monitoring it in 2002. Former reliable regulars like Poland-225 and Luxembourg-234 have been rare. Czech Republic-270 not heard this season.
The most reliable this year have been Morocco-171 and Iceland-189 and neither of them have been consistently strong.
I hope next year is better as I enjoy LWBC DX!

171 Morocco poor
