Hi Folks

Don't know if any of you are aware but the BBC are closing down all of their MW local radio frequencies. These will include; Essex, Cambridgeshire, Devon, Leeds, Sheffield, Hereford, and Worcester, Stoke, Lancashire, Ulster, and Foyle.

I have sent a message to the BBC director via their contact form to tell them how important the MW frequencies are to us who restore vintage valve radio sets and asked the question as to what reason they have decided to shut down all of their MW transmitters.

Best wishes

Ken
