amsterdam radio dial

I am planning on going to Amsterdam in the near future...what is the radio dial like? do you know where I can find a station listing? What is reception like in the city? What does the MW band sound like at night?
 
I think there's actually more stations than that...the predavatel lists are often not 100% complete, except for a few cities.

Last year I transferred through Schiphol airport in Amsterdam and had just enough time to do a really quick bandscan before getting on the plane again...didn't catch most station names but I received stations on the following frequencies:

87.7, 88.1, 88.9, 89.3, 89.6, 90.1, 90.7, 91.1, 91.6, 92.3, 92.6, 93.1, 93.3, 93.6, 94.3, 94.5, 94.9, 95.2, 95.7, 96.1, 96.5, 96.8, 97.1, 97.6, 98.0, 98.6, 98.9, 99.4, 99.7, 100.1, 100.4, 100.7, 101.2, 101.5, 101.8, 102.1, 102.4, 102.7, 103.0, 103.6, 104.4, 104.6, 104.9, 105.2, 105.6, 105.9, 106.3, 106.6, 106.8, 107.2, 107.4, 107.9

Several of these frequencies were simulcasts of the same program, e.g. 88.1/103.6. I also realize some of the frequencies are probably from transmitters outside of Amsterdam, but they certainly were coming in quite well at the airport.

Another site to look at is www.fmlist.org / www.fmscan.org - play around with the search options to get a more complete list.
 
Thanks for the websites...check them out...really good.

Enjoy your stay, hope this will help a little.....
 
When needed, I can aircheck most of the stations in MP3 and post them on mediafire.....
 
CHRles, you're right. Just did a quick rundown. But it sounds about right ;D At least Adamgre can find some stations on the dial ;)
 
Is there a station called Arrow Classic Rock which broadcasts in 103.6 in Amsterdam?

Does Amsterdam have a lot of pirate radio stations similar to London?
