Band 3 TV 2016?

[Chris Howles]

What's left in Europe and North Africa if anything? I know the MUF doesn't get up to B3 that often but it does happen occasionally and its good to be prepared (yes I was in the Cubs!). I remember getting Tunisian TV on E5 on a 13 element in the loft back in June 1988. Gary Smith also received this on E5 and E7 along with Libya on FUBK test card on E6.

According to FMList.org - Faroe Islands and Serbia have high power transmitters.

Thanks Dave. I'm not that familiar with navigating my way around FM list, I did look but could only find info for Band 1 and 2 TV TXs.

Hi Chris if you log in to FMlist select TVlist and then my TV (logbook and more) tab top left of the page this opens a new tab then select band and then Es tab and all current stations are shown.

ahh I don't have an account with FM list, I only ever use it for looking up PI codes I didn't realise there was extra stuff if you signed up

[Andrew Webster,Wigan]

Ah right well there is a great lot of info if you sign up so well worth doing.
When I started FM-DX in 2011 I was writing my logs (oh dear) and then John pointed me to FMlist I joined and never looked back.

Here is a FMlist tutorial we did a while back.

FM List is a hugely useful tool for DXers.

It may not seem so straight-forward when you first set eyes on it, but after using it for a few days it became second nature. I'm more of a keyboard operator than a mouse operator. Using the keyboard I find I can whiz through log entry.

Let's not forget MW List too. The Visual Logbook on both these platforms is such a help to other DXers too.

Decide how you want to store your logs too. On FM List I have separate logbooks for each mode of propagation. I 'sort of' regret doing that now, but it does have advantages.

Thanks Andy, I'll have a look at it next week when I've got a bit more time.... cheers!

I will be staying in the South of Gran Canaria come two weeks today and intend taking along a minimum of a fm dipole atleast along with a XDR F1HD but would it be worth trying for Band 3 tv reception or have all african countries moved over to digital ? If yes then perhaps the fairhaven RD500 could be used as it has in its design a separate tuner section for the tv bands as well as video output connection & and son for tv monitoring .
