As a kid, I lived for a while in the fishing village of Hopeman, just a long spit from the Burghead senders- R3 MW could be heard faintly in the background of most things. In that way of RF, I think that the R3 sender was actually the lowest power amongst the BBC cluster.

I wonder if 405 line tellies ever suffered from the "colourful" fish-fone repartee in their AM sound channels, or even radio amateur traffic? Perhaps older chassis-type construction would offer better immunity than PCBs under nothing more than hardboard.
