Jil FM

Yet another interesting radio station but in this case is in medium waves . This 
station has some special  music characteristics that make them not only  interesting 
but  also special .
 
As it is located in Algeria, aimed at younger people , it mixes  several distinctive 
music styles (as of start of 13 though I think the continue to use  the same scheme 
now )
- the local Berber music . of the local tribe  . this music highly reminds me  the 
music  from Horn of Africa !
- Arabic ,mostly pop . possibly the national  music
- French , as they are under French influence
- Western , as with most stations do for international music
So this makes  them with a rather complex music  style
 
The station transmits on the frequency  of 531 kHz  East beam and 548 west beam and 
is  part of  the national  radio network of Algeria . In Thessaloniki  it can be 
heard  from on late local night times ( ie 9 pm ) to ca 6 am in the morning local 
times (-3  for UTC )provided  propagation conditions are  good . With the help of 
external antenna  or Am loops this can be extended to about  1 hour ,. Main signal 
levels are  S9 to S9+20 making one  of the strongest stations in the lower MW band
 
548kHz  can be heard in the clear on local  mornings (03 UTC )with nearly same signal 
as 531 kHZ ( abt S7 as for 3/9/13)
 
Little  internet research yielded the news that  this station uses the program   
Radio-Assist  from NETIA (a Globecast company ) for automated  music scheduling (news 
on May 13 for the program  upgrade )
