Looking at the UK broadcast spectrum below 30MHz.
We have one remaining SW site at Woofferton. The BECG has recently collected some souvenirs from Sender 93, a venerable Marconi BD272 transmitter. Sender 95, the last BD272, is still in active service. https://www.transmitter.be/mar-bd272.html Due to size there's no way we could preserve the whole of Sender 93.
MW services seem to be closing by the day.
The198kHz LW service from Droitwich will close in the next few years.
Anyone got a good alternative use for some LW and MW spectrum that's laden with interference?
All those with non-VHF receivers will soon have to rely on pantry transmitters or bluetooth adaptors. Rather like 405 TV enthusiasts having to rely on standards converters.
