The activity of radio fans is most often associated with short waves. Across the world however, there are many fans of other types of radio waves on which speech and music are broadcast, for instance on long waves. In physics and radio technology long waves are defined as frequencies ranging from 0.003 Hz to 300 kHz. The ones up to 30 Hz are called super-long waves, and above 30 – just long waves. Under the rules of the International Telecommunication Union, the range from 150 to 285 kHz has been segmented for radio broadcasts of speech and music on long waves. In reality radio stations use frequencies from 153 to 279 kHz, and most often the separate frequencies are fixed with breaks of 9 kHz. For instance after 153 the next stations are at 162, 171 and so on kHz. Long waves are used in Europe exclusively, including Iceland, North Africa, the Asian part of Russia and Central Asia. There are around 55 transmitters in use and their number varies. For example, the ones in Ukraine and Turkey function only from time to time; recently Denmark has moved its frequency from medium to long waves etc. The only transmitter registered outside the above mentioned countries and continents is found in Macheta, Colombia, and transmits on 150 kHz with a capacity of 1 kW. Russia has the largest number of transmitters, about 24, of them 5 in Europe and 19 in Asia. Germany and Mongolia have four each; Algeria and Great Britain have three each; Iceland and Morocco have two each. The following countries have one transmitter each – Belarus, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Romania, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, or approximately 5 in North Africa, 24 in Europe, 25 in Asia and one in South Africa. In an advantageous position are the fans of distant radio stations DXing on those waves in North America and the southern hemisphere where there are no local long wave transmitters that disrupt reception. So, the frequencies that can be used to listen to speech and music range from 279 to 153 kHz that corresponds to wavelengths from 1075 to 1961 m showing that the ideal antenna for reception with one of those wavelengths would be hard and long. Listeners practice three ways for the reception of signals on long waves: through a rod antenna inbuilt in the receiver; with a loop antenna or via a cable some 510 m long (or half the length of the wave) positioned between two mountain peaks or other two objects. This latter method was used until recently. The long waves are beamed from the transmitter in two components: spatial and ground. The spatial ones are reflected in the low layers of the ionosphere, and the ground ones easily surmount any hindrances, for example the relief of the Earth's surface. The long waves spread on long distances and in the unlit part of the planet can reach listeners thousands of kilometers away. Usually the transmitters of these waves have big capacities.
