Considering the recent interest in monitoring band openings and DX opportunities, I decided to update my LF utility station list. The list covers from 110 to 148 kHz.
Thanks to Peter Bobek (SK) and Gamal Soegiono for data on German stations. All signals have been monitored recently.
Corrections, monitoring reports and help in identifying the unids are
welcome.
I expect to repost this list every couple of months.

I have not considered the intermod signals like 136.040 and so on, generated by the German transmitter site.
The powers are derived by the NELS page and from other communications, and are obviously indicative. The indicated power should be ERP, I suppose (?!?).
