I am horrified at the prospect of broadcast radio becoming entirely
digital not the least because the system(s) chosen are likely to be
years out of date and totally inferior.
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.

Hi all
I dare not say on this forum what I think of this news. 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.
