BBC A18 Frequencies
« on: March 25, 2018, 1000 UTC »

The only frequency that looks different to me than B17 is 13660, I 'm interested in seeing if I can receive it. I have found reception on the east coast best between 1500-2200 with 15420, 17830, 17640, 9915, and 15400 being receivable.  From their webpage:
