Sorry to  read that , I have the old bbc radio merseyside tx about 1 miles 
from me  .. that was bad enough .. till  it started to  send 3 or 4 mw 
signals  . now its all over the place   .. roll on digital  bc ..  hopefully 
it will be turned off  ...   be like waking up on that  wonderful day and 
finding the decca signal had gone from 1.9 mhz  ... ...
