Here's hoping Droitwich (198kHz) can keep going, it's quite good reception round the mediterranean countries and it would be handy to move it back to 200khz if there's not much else on the band.

Closure of AM broadcast stations and eventually as a consequence the loss to the general public of a relatively simple (go anywhere) reception medium is IMHO a bad thing. I am not sure the consequences are fully understood. > > I have managed to blow away most of this Blacksheep thread before reading it so apologies if I am just repeating some one else s contribution. > > > 73 es GL Pete M0FMT IO91UX > > > > > > > Sent via my own personal Too-Way (two way) Earth Station to and from the Eutelsat Ka-band satellite http://www.tooway.co.uk/ at approximately 172 degrees Azimuth in the Clarke belt owing to BTs 19th century cable technology inability to provide a good enough 21st century broadband service.
