Re: Radio4 low power this morning
I believe the Droitwich transmitter is off, during the day, for maintenance.

Re: Radio4 low power this morning
Nice weak station to test and adjust the long wave coil you have made.

Re: Radio4 low power this morning
Ah, that explains it. I have not been able to pick up R4 here on LW since at all since Saturday at least. This was in the daytime. Haven't tried in the evening. I could pick up the Irish station though.
