LUXEMBOURG Radio Luxembourg callsigns.
The 19th edition (July 1958) of the "Alphabetical List of Call Signs"
publised by the I.T.U. shows four callsigns registered for broadcasting
from Junglinster: LXRA, LXRE, LXRF and LXRG. At these moment R. Luxy was
broadcasting on 4 freqs...LW, MW, and 2 on SW. Somebody knows to what freq
corresponds each one of them?

Radio Luxembourg callsigns
I see this Call Signs of Luxembourg for the first time.
In 1957-1959 I heard RTL in German often at 1400-1700 UT, even on holiday
in Tyrolia Austria. Popular hit parade on Sundays.
LW 233 kHz 500 kW seems LXRA
MW 1439 kHz 350 kW LXRE
SW 6090 kHz 50 kW LXRF
SW 15350 kHz 5 kW LXRG, latter towards Montreal Canada in French.

Back in 1951 when almost every SW station had a call sign I find that
"Guide to Broadcasting Stations" issued by 'Wireless World' shows
Luxembourg listed with 5kW on 6090, 9528 and 15350 but only 6090 had the
call letters LXA.
Post WWII I cannot ever recall hearing call letters announced - SW was
always forty-nine point two six metres. Actual pre-WWII recordings of the
station (in English) seem to be very rare as it's understood that the
station actually destroyed their library of programmes, but quotes seem to
suggest that only station name and wavelength were used. I assume that any
call letters were purely academic - perhaps allocated by the LUX
govt/telecoms or ITU? However, as I understand it, LUX was never allocated
a long wave freq until whatever followed the Copenhagen Plan. In 1951
