Default Re: Some BBC local radio MW Tx closures

There's little point getting upset about this. I think we should embrace the demise and broadcast our own stuff.

Many of us already do with pantry TXs, but perhaps at some point the MW BCB will be so dead that Ofcom will lets us set up small stations in our area for the fun of it. Sort of like the USAs part 15 regs, but maybe a tad more power.

Ive been told anecdotally that at present, Ofcom will not go after MW pirates with clean rigs who aren't causing problems for others. And lets face it, what does Ofcom do about the dozens of electrical devices spewing noise across a lot of the MW and SW band anyway.

Im surprised its gone on this long, its pretty clear even FM is in its twilight years
