Default Re: Radio 5 Live Echo (Empty Hall) Effect ?

I can remember hearing that echo effect together with fading back in the early 1970's when I lived west Cornwall. It was very noticable on Radio1 on 247m and Radio 3 on 464m. After 1972 we use to get that same echo effect after dusk on the very much stronger Radio 4 signal on 285m, due to the clash betwen the strong ground wave signal from Start Point and the strong sky wave signal from Droitwich. Today you can hear the same effect down there on R5L on 693Khz.
