Hi Marc,
About the 183 frequency, I know that a couple of years ago, the top one
of their four towers collapsed so they have to re-arrange the antenna
array. Based on this article (in German, use a translator)
http://www.saar-nostalgie.de/Europe1Unfall.htm , the power has also been
lowered to 1000 Kw along with a new tower arrangement.
Same result here with a signal decline since then.

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
