Steve.

When aligning the RF section of a radio you need to use signals close to the ends of the band.

I've just been doing some listening on LW and suggest the following:

Low frequency end. Allouis France on 162 KHz (1850 metres) a 2 Megawatt station. There's a German station on 153 KHz (1921 metres), but it's not nearly as powerful.

High Frequency end. RTE (Irish Radio) on 252 KHz (1190 metres).

In the middle the band there's BBC Radio 4 on 198 KHz (1515 metres).
