During openings to the south east you can often hear studio to transmitter links (STLs) from Italy, according to our friends at FMDX Italy they are relatively low power but during Es can reach very high signal strengths. They appear to use all of Band I from 50-70Mhz but presumably away from any local TV transmitters.
To receive these signals I use two methods, the first is to quickly locate the signal by tuning the D100 converter and listening to the audio output on an FM tuner, once I've located a signal and taken a rough measurement on the D100 tuning scale I locate the signal on an Icom 8500 receiver and note the exact frequency. Using the D100 and tuner also allows me to log any RDS that the stations are using. Although I have logged & confirmed many of these with RDS I have yet to hear any that I can hear in parallel on band II.
Many thanks to Giampiero Bernardini and Fabrizio Carnevalini from FMDX Italy and Juergen Lohuis from www.ukwtv.de for their help in compiling this list.| FREQ | PI | PS |
