I listen to Droitwich regularly over here, and intently during the
referendum. The results were received over the air several minutes
before the internet.
Lets hope 198 kHz does not go QRT soon!

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.
