Welcome to this 5.6 edition of “List of Private MW stations in Italy”. Unlike other lists that you can find over the Internet, this publication only lists stations currently on the air, expected to start operation very soon or temporarily off-air. Also included is information on how to contact the stations (E-mail and Web sites), QSL policies and, when known, transmitter powers and future plans. I have compiled this list by assembling information received directly from the stations and my own research. I have done my best to keep mistakes to a minimum.
Almost all of Italian MW stations are licensed. Despite this, solid data on hours of transmission, programs, frequencies, and contacts are difficult to obtain because station practices themselves change often. Another point to be mentioned is the fact that frequencies sometimes change, and new ones or old ones appear or reappear. Some stations, especially those unlicensed, are not on the air daily and/or the frequencies rarely tend to be used all the day.
Most stations operate from the North of Italy (especially from the regions of Lombardia, Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia), a few from the central part of the country (Toscana, Emilia Romagna, Umbria, Marche, Lazio and Abruzzo) and, after the disappearance a number of years ago of Gold 1593 located in Sicily, virtually none from the South.
This list will be regularly updated and more details will be added in future. If you have any corrections, additions, comments or suggestions please don’t hesitate to write to: dxf@dxfanzine.com – Last but not least: if you find any error (and you are invited to let me know) be advised that it was absolutely unintentional!
