Hi,

Thanks to an engineering contact at Caroline I’ve contacted one of engineers involved in the work on the transmitter and he’s now aware of this thread and the Forum.

Regards the web page for reports, which is now in place, he said the it all happened rather quickly yesterday afternoon, so they didn't have the right people in the right places to co-ordinate it all… Personally, I feel the excitement of getting a AM transmitter on air on such an historic frequency would have been a lot more exciting than updating a web site

I’m able to receive it using my Radionic ‘Set 4’ superhet receiver, which brought back memories of listening to RNI in 1970 using the same superhet receiver, which I built as youngster back in 1970!

Regards
Terry
