Part 1 - Actual Frequency Listings |
Nowadays there are not much actual books or databases on the market. Only a few still do exist, the others seems to have disappeared. My recommendation would be still
the 'Spezial
Frequenzliste' from Funk Verlag Bernhard Hein, edited by
Michael Marten. Not only because I have compiled several editions
of this book in years before and traces of my work are still
included but also because I know of the general attempt of the
editor. |

Part 2 - Audio Clips |
Yes, there are a few pages with clips from utility stations on the web. An excellent overview (and in-depth
view) is from Leif
Dehio on digital modes for shortwave. Unfortunately, Leif
has a strange blocking policy. |
Part 3 - QSL reproductions |
A few utility QSLs can be seen
on Ralf
Kloth's site, as well as on Martin Elbe's site, together with broadcasting
stations. For broadcasting stations only, look at Manfred Hüppelshäuser's page, QSLs are paired with audio clips. Interesting site: the QSL information pages of Martin Schöch, dealing mostly with BC QSLs Many Utility QSLs are hosted on the page of Marcel Kurtz. Or take a look at the site of Horst Ballenberger for some nice ones. The Indonesian DX-Club features many QSLs, Utilities too, on their webpage. another interesting page comes from Roland Bieri of Switzerland |
Part 4 - Miscellaneous |
From Italy, Andrea Borgnino has a fine website with lots
of photos The British website of Robert Maskill has very detailed information on coastal stations, from UK and worldwide. See the page of Tom McKee for an interesting look on ship/shore communications of US inland waterways and great lakes. Thomas Ingenpass has launched an exclusively German language forum on UTDX. Here you have many experts, and lots of discussions. Another website with many pictures from antenna plants (a few are utility, yes) is up by Bernd Waniewski, an antenna technician. On the page of 'Fenu' you will find lots of information on communication receivers, from ancient ones to actual SDR models When you are interested in NDB-dxing, you should not miss the pages of the NDB List . Heinz Schulz presents an interesting page, with many historical tables and pictures on Long- and Medium-Wave broadcast stations. The site operated by Daniel Ekman has highly sophisticated info, many 'spy' stations are presented here... Johan Veldhuis and Wim van Beek have collected many pictures of NDB installations Nicole from the USA found an interesting item, a little away from our core interest - it's on car radio development |
