Welcome to ILGRadio

ILGRadio Frequency Databases available with various file
formats uploaded since September 2022 on a daily basis

Your DAILY Database of Broadcasting & UTILITY

Latest release now with approx. 80000 data sets (A version)
Look for improved new Structure and here on the Download page

ILGRadio includes now all broadcasting stations between 150 - 1602 khz of Europe, Africa, Middle East & South Asia with power from 1 Watt,
the Asia stations are listed from incl. 100 kW so far, but no American/Pacific stations included. This change made from April 2nd 2023.
ILG database files are based on the ILG master database with more than 150 000 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. 2 000 000 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.
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.
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

Facts that confirm the High Quality of this Database

FINAL A23 STATISTIC ("A" version 77882 sets Broadcasting/UTILITY) of April 16th 2023:

DATABASE CONTENT:
Broadcasting: AM: 11411, DRM: 487, SSB: 3948, Jamming: 1900 sets
UTILITY: ALE MIL-STD: 41138, various Digital: 7911, Telex: 4726, Morse: 2536, Voice: 3716 sets

ILG MONITORING RESULTS:
Data of monitoring given in Data Field  YEAR  e.g. "2304" = received in April 2023...
Broadcasting transmissions (no UTILITY) effective until March 25th 2023 deleted and not included !

monitored during Apil 2023:  7573 data entries  (1st main seasonal monitoring sesson)
monitored during March 2023:  3276 data entries 
monitored during February 2023:  3565 data entries 
monitored during January 2023:  2301 data entries

monitored during year 2022:   14603 data entries
monitored during year 2021:   10182 data entries
monitored during year 2020:   9294 data entries
monitored during year 2019:    6320 data entries
monitored during year 2018:    4196 data entries
monitored during year 2017:    1794 data entries
monitored during year 2016:    1709 data entries
monitored during year 2015:    1710 data entries
monitored during year 2014:    1365 data entries
monitored during year 2013:     531 data entries
monitored during year 2012:     510 data entries
Many transmissions were monitored every few days but listed in above score list ONLY one time, so there are much more obeservations!
Old monitoring dates will be always overwritten by latest observations, "old" entries not currently observed but still valid !
Broadcasting monitoring dates of former B22 season were all deleted and will be completely monitored again during current A23 season !!!

ILGRadio´s Milestones in Short Wave Publishing     - daily upload of ILGRadio files since September 2022     - unique database based on daily bandscans and monitoring session     - ILGRadio is based on professional ILG database for frequency managers     - largest UTILITY database incl.most comprehensive ALE call sign lists     - largest database in HFCC format incl. broadcasting and UTILITY stations     - largest lookup tables of tx-sites and broadcasters in HFCC 3-digit format     - no copy and paste of other sources e.g. HFCC etc     - first database with UTILITY time schedules or operational hours in UTC     - first database including complete broadcasting frequency schedules     - first database with graphical diagram "Times by Lines" with language info     - first database inluding technical details of all broadcasting stations     - first database with nearly all verified data by monitoring during the season     - first database inluding monitoring dates for nearly all database entries

These ILGRadio Databases are provided to promote and advance the hobbie of Short Wave Radio Listening and Monitoring with accurate details of stations broadcasting between 1.6 to 30 MHz.

ILGRadio's Philosophy
- see what you receive in ILG´s Graphical Diagram
- tune in to the very precise frequencies
- explore when broadcast was monitored last time
- search your favorites within latest schedules
- identify transmissions you tune in immediately
- run your PERSEUS SDR display like an RDS radio
- do not waste time with fake schedules of others
- you will not find HFCC/ITU schedule grave yards
- download latest updates on a regular time
- pay a fair acceptable low rate for a year

ILGRadio is available for a very small amount of money as a recognition for all the work for investigation and trouble.
That´s why there is the wish that your access data were NOT given to other persons, who paid for nothing. Please accept this.
If you would use ILGRadio for your professional job, please pay the higher price or more. Many thanks !
