Hay who's side are you on !!
That was a tape running over the last
month , on reduced power, asking listeners
to re-tune to vhf
the mast is visibly rusted and will
need replacing ,its been there 40
years now in a salt exposed location ,
but as the local radio has not been
subject to cuts ($$) then this looks like the
pay-off
carrier is now off , will have to take
a look , see what's going on at the site

Another site suggests it's a five-week shutdown --
just a test.

BBC RADIO MERSEYSIDE 1485
TX QRT :))))))
Wondering why the usual S9 of
background noise was not showing on
500 , and launching into frenzied
activity thinking the Skanti R5003 had decide
to fall over after 20 years of service
, pressing the ' press to tune' noise source
, indicated all was fine
CONFUSION set in
Slowly the enormity of the situation
dawned on me
The
BBC's 1485KHz 10Kw wide band
noise generator has been switched
off
That ends 40 years of
WideBandNoise !!
