Re: LF: Closure of MF/LF Broadcasters

["Graham" <g8fzk@g8fzk.fsnet.co.uk>]

Pity BBC Radio Mersey-wide didn't  adopt the  same policy ,  after  a  few 
weeks  of  zero wide band noise and  cross  modulated  AM clusters  up and 
down the  bands , from the  2 or 3  simultaneous  broadcast  from the  same 
Ae ,   It was  switched  back on  again
The  mast  is  round 45 years  old  and rusty  , originally  the  station 
was  1Kw single  qrg , up in the  10's  now with  3  :(
73-G,
