Welcome to ILGRadio

ILGRadio Frequency Databases available with various file
formats uploaded on a nearly daily basis if new data available

Your DAILY Database of Broadcasting & UTILITY

Latest release now with approx. 85000 data sets (A version)
Look for improved new Structure and here on the Download page

ILGRadio includes also all broadcasting and UTILITY stations between 11 - 1602 khz of Europe, Africa, Middle East & South Asia incl.
low power transmitters, Asia stations are listed from 100 kW, but no American/Pacific stations included. This change made from April 2023.
ILG database files are based on the ILG master database with more than 200 000 data sets of which each year approx. 20 000
will be completely replaced. In this huge database with 100 data fields all monitoring observations are included in two data fields.
Here are approx. 2 250 000 monitoring observations included which will be updated on a nearly daily basis and this allows to prepare
the operational transmissions hours of the UTILITY stations in ILG. Each month nearly 3000 observations will be added or replaced old data.
The source of broadcasting schedules is based on direct contacts to the stations or deep-in monitoring if no schedules are available.
No "Copy & Paste" is made, e.g. a copy from the HFCC database.
ILGRadio is based on the professional ILG Database and therefore all those who lie and cheat in the HFCC with fake registrations are exposed.
The ILGRadio database is no weekend hobby file with try to do something not complete collected data as others are doing this way...
This all gives the most up-to-date and comprehensive database of the world...  
 
Why the bandscans are made:
- to check what is on air as listed in official schedules and HFCC requirements
- to check clear the HF channels
- to check the wooden entries of requirements of the HFCC database
- to check and monitor JAMMING transmissions not listed in HFCC/ITU databases
- to check for transmitter errors (tuning, intermodulation, harmonic,...)
- to check non-broadcasting invaders (UTILITY stations in broadcasting bands)
- to check UTILITY transmissions (non-broadcasting) if on air or not active
- to check the own ILG data for errors
