[Mgs] (OT) Medium Wave

[Bert Palte]

'Medium wave', in virtually every European language, refers to the AM 
broadcast band,
roughly 520 - 1605 kHz.

With 'If you can find one' I meant that this band is virtually dead 
(over here) and I incorrectly assumed that this is a well known fact.
Several, once important, broadcast stations, like the BBC World Service, 
have disappeared there now.
There is not much to hear there any more.
Most radio transmissions now take place in the FM broadcast band, 
roughly 87 - 108 MHz.

Yes, I am a ham radio operator. I used to live in Holland, but have 
recently moved to Sweden,
hence my two call signs, one for each state.

Sorry for not having been clear enough.
