Hi,
BBC is relayed in SLOVAKIA via transmitters on 1521 kHz (regularly; the
frequency is announced in their programs):

Kosice / Cizatice  21E24 48N48  200 kW
Nitra / Jarok  17E59 48N17  50 kW
Rimavska Sobota / Uzovska Panica  20E07 48N24  14 kW

- all transmitters relay BBC in Slovak and BBC WS in between

- on the air: Mon-Fri 0530-0730, Sat+Sun 0630-0730, daily 1800-2030 UTC
At other times the transmitters are off the air.
