Did I tell you that it works around the World?

Romy,

This looks very good indeed. It would be great if you could select different transmitters as you can do with this website but unfortunately it works only in France. See:

http://www.brume.org/radios/commune.php?mode=searchville&insee=68269

This gives you also an idea of the signal strength you can expect. I am sure there must be something like this available for North America. What I find frustrating is that although you have a fair number of interesting German stations (I seem to remember some interesting broadcasting stations) from just across the border, these are not covered.

I will try the site you refer to above as I think it's potentially more powerful than the one at www.brume.org. I imagine I need to locate the altitude and longitude of the transmitters I have in mind, my own location and work from there. It is of course a shame that there is no possibility to run the analysis knowing the strength of the transmitting antenna and the gain of one's receiving antenna.

Regards
Rakesh
