Yes, at certain times of the year & only in the wee hours, Longwave (LW) Broadcasts can be heard; however, out here on the West Coast, they are mostly from Russia. It is easier to hear Europe from eastern North America.
I have heard Germany on 153 Khz, Russia on 171 & 279 Khz, & Iceland on 189 Khz. These are not common nor easy to catch as those signals are for domestic consumption & not directed towards us in North America
LW Transmitters are monsters & put out up to 2500 KWs of power as contrasted to our North America MW (AM) transmitters of 50 KWs maximum. LW transmitters must have horrendous electric bills...
As for Talk Radio - my wife is convinced that I'm becoming more warped than normal...
