Not regular reception I'm afraid chaps, but one of the interesting things about Band I is the possibility of freak reception. Here, near Evesham, during the last months of the Crystal Palace transmission, I once picked this up on my pre-war receiver. I seem to recall there was a continuous path of fog and these must have been anticyclonic conditions.

In a way, feats of long distance reception are more interesting. The other side of the coin with Band I AM of course is 'interference'. Motor car interference should be less than in the old days, but who knows what more modern menaces will prove troublesome? A good aerial away from the source of interference and an effectively screening feeder will be wise.

PS. alanmoore, our posts crossed. Part of the fun with this is we can't predict anything for certain. So no promises, though nearer the time - when the variables are firmed up - we'll likely run service area projections with software.
