Indeed. The sibilance issue complaints relating to R4 198kHz LW would pale into utter insignificance if issues arouse of the audio on the two Scotland on-channel 'filler' 198kHz R4 transmitters was arriving out-of-time with Droitwich and causing similar echos over a large area especially at night
I don't think this has ever occured, but there is a first time for eveything!

Quite apart from the echoing, I notice there is also for some time a pronounced beat of around 2Hz - 2.5Hz on Talksport's 1053kHz channel - due to one of their transmitters being off by that amount compared to other talksport transmitters (it is not due to any foreign transmitter).
Some time ago, the 1089kHz channel used to have a pronounced beat of around 1Hz at night for a length period. This is no longer apparent, - the offending transmitter (possibly was Westerglen) must have been put precisely back on 1089 (using GPS reference??), now if only the echoing (still happening on both 1053 and 1089) could be sorted out!
