Re: Radio France weather reports - radio frequencies?

Quote:

Zones : Atlantique nord-est et Atlantique nord tropical. Fréquences utilisées selon les saisons : 6 175 kHz en Europe, 15 300 kHz, 15 515 kHz, 17 570 kHz et 21 645 kHz en Atlantique. Horaire : 11h30 UTC.
Des communiqués techniques horaires indiquant des changements de fréquence sont diffusés entre H - 07 et H + 00.


I don't think the published frequencies are actually quite correct. In 2005 we found it on 15300kHz and 15364kHz across the Atlantic, and starting at 11.40 UT daily rather than 11.30, though it was often up to 10 minutes late! You will need a map showing the location of the sea areas across the Atlantic. They are shown HERE. I have found these forecasts to be very reliable.
