  Mediumwave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Americas, mediumwave stations are separated by 10 kHz and have two sidebands of ±5 kHz.
Mediumwave signals have the property of following the curvature of the earth (the groundwave) at all times, and also reflecting off the ionosphere at night (skywave).
The mediumwave transmitter at Berlin-Britz for transmitting RIAS used a cross dipole mounted on five 30.5 metre high guyed masts to transmit the skywave up to the ionosphere at nighttime.

 Mediumwave
Mediumwave radio broadcasts are those between the frequencies of 500 kHz and 2000 kHz.
Mediumwave signals have the properties of following the curvature of the earth (the groundwave[?]) and reflecting or refracting off the ionosphere at night (skywave).
In the Americas, mediumwave stations are separated by 10 kHz and have two sidebands of +/- 5 kHz.

 Mediumwave transmitter Bremen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The mediumwave transmitter Bremen is a facility for medium wave broadcasting.
The mediumwave transmitter Bremen uses as aerial a cage aerial, which is mounted on a 45 metre high guyed grounded steel framework mast.
This aerial has a high gain of 4.5dB, which means that the 50 kilowatt transmitter brings the same effiency as a 140 kilowatt transmitter.

 Notes on Medium Wave Propagation -- on hard-core-dx.com
When the geometry is just right, the mediumwave frequency transmitted signal can literally propagate underneath and through the auroral oval zones into the polar ionosphere which is less disturbed and from the polar ionosphere back into the middle latitude ionosphere, without ever coming in contact with the highly absorptive auroral ionosphere.
Unfortunately mediumwave frequencies fall within the electron gyrofrequency which is in the approximate range of 630 to 1630 kHz and of course the AM broadcast band and 160 meter band is very close to these electron gyrofrequencies.
The closer a transmitted a mediumwave carrier wave frequency is to the electron gyrofrequency, the more energy that is absorbed by the gyro electrons from that carrier wave frequency.

AM stereo is any of a number of mutually-incompatible techniques for broadcasting two_channel audio in the mediumwave band in a manner that is compatible with receivers designed for standard amplitude modulation.
Radio frequency, or RF, refers to that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum in which electromagnetic waves can be generated by alternating current fed to an antenna.
Mediumwave radio transmissions (sometimes called Medium frequency or MF) are those between the frequencies of 300 kHz and 3000 kHz.

Many stations are required to shut down or reduce power at night in order to make way for clear channel stations that can then be received over a wider range.
In the Americas, mediumwave stations are separated by 10 kHz and have two sidebands of ±5 kHz.
For most of the 20th century, the radio frequency 500 kHz was reserved world wide as the Morse code international calling and distress frequency for ships on the high seas.

 Kiwa's Published Reviews
Mediumwave loops were common in radios before the discovery that ferrite material would concentrate radio signals and thus reduce the antenna to a small rod inside most transistor radios.
By carefully rotating the loop of wire, many listeners were able to reduce the level of jamming interference to a point where the resistance message was at least intelligible.
This bandwidth control is extremely useful if you have several strong local mediumwave stations in the neighbourhood and you want to try and pick up stations on adjacent channels.

 AM/FM DXing
For mediumwave, the single most important factor for good DX is the time of day.
Mediumwave signals almost always get absorbed by the D Layer of the ionosphere during daylight hours.
Whereas the mediumwave band can be counted on to provide distant reception with much dependability, this is not the case at all on the VHF-FM band.

mediumwave transmitter was installed at a new location considerably closer to Kabul, though I have never heard it, even when visiting in nearby areas.
Because of the difficulties encountered in establishing a network of local mediumwave stations thoughout Afghanistan, instead a regional service in local languages was on the air for several years using two transmitters in the tropical shortwave bands.
This huge mediumwave unit, variously described as 100 kw, 50 kw and 25 kw, was installed inside a series of cages on the top floor of this new building.

The first mediumwave station in Ireland was launched in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in October 1924 under the auspices of the BBC London.
This new station was given the callsign 2BE and it was on the air with 1.5 kw on the wavelength 440 metres, corresponding to 680 kHz.
During the European Conflict, several of the mediumwave stations in Ireland were synchronised on one channel so that they could not be used as radio beacons for invading aircraft and ships.

 80 Years of Seventh Day Adventist Broadcasting
The first mediumwave broadcast from the Adventist denomination in Europe went on the air from Radio Luxembourg in 1947, with the broadcast of the "Voice of Prophecy" over their large 150 kW transmitter on 232 meters, 1293 kHz.
However, in January 1979, the mediumwave broadcasts from Radio Luxembourg were taken over officially as part of the international radio ministry of Adventist World Radio.
The Gibraltar Broadcasting Company operates a 2 kW mediumwave station on 1458 kHz, and this facility carried a series of test broadcasts on behalf of Adventist World Radio with again, nearby areas of North Africa as the designated coverage area.

 IRRS-GRM in Milano
There are obvious advantages in receiving FM vs. Mediumwave or Shortwave in terms of audio fidelity.
Mediumwave, although lacking in fidelity, provides a much wider coverage than FM due to the lack of co-channel interference, and it is often used for example to tune into the news service offered by RAI.
It must be noted that Italy has been pioneering private FM broadcasting since as early as 1975, when, in addition to the already established three national state owned RAI channels (also on AM/Medium Wave) a number of small and aggressive FM stations went on the air.
