Circle CDs
The MWC tries to bring you all flavours of the medium wave
experience. That experience is one of sounds, images and text – and
even video!
Fortunately we can combine all these elements and store them on CD's.
Currently every year we produce an archive CD based around the complete
volume of Medium Wave News. Volumes 48, onwards are available on CD.
We also have several other CDs which may be of interest to you.You do
not need to be a Circle member to order these CD's.

UK and Ireland LW and MW Transmitters 2nd Edition
Over the years information about LW & MW transmitters
operating in the UK & Ireland has been fragmented, incomplete
or out of date.
More recently the Internet has augmented the printed medium but still
it is exceedingly difficult to get all information in one place.
In an attempt to improve matters this CD contains data about radio
transmitters operating on Long and Medium Wave frequencies; in essence
every transmitter in the UK and Ireland operating below 1700kHz.
The CD contains the following:
* A full listing of over 500 transmitters and who is using them, along with data about them such as power, location (both National Grid Reference and latitude and longitude) and, where known, date activated. A description of the antenna and its radiation pattern is also included. The listing includes all currently active stations and some recently decommissioned. You will find broadcasters, navigation beacons, time standards, maritime and military transmitters listed. You will also find some unusual frequency allocations; do you know who uses 87kHz, 457kHz, 846kHz or 1641kHz?
* A collection of BBC local radio coverage maps.
* A similar collection of maps for non-BBC stations.
*A large collection of detailed photographs of 200+ transmitter sites and the antennae in use.
* A collection of high quality scans of QSL cards from 100+ of the stations in the file. * Directional antennae radiation patterns.
* Features: Extra features include a historical perspective of MW frequency assignment & usage in the UK. Additionally a dossier covering quiet radio areas in the UK is included with detailed information to help you select a listening site with minimum noise or interference. The CD also contains a range of useful country maps showing counties, postcode areas and so on.
In addition it includes direct linking to the Internet which
will take you to a station's own website and to a detailed on-line
mapping service that will show you on an Ordnance Survey map where the
transmitter is physically located.
The CD is fully interactive and uses links to ensure you can quickly
find the info you need. The main station listing uses a spreadsheet
that you can sort and filter data as you wish.
