This Day: 1989. Atlantic 252 started test transmissions on Long Wave. The station was to become hugely popular in the UK - and a real influence for our commercial radio. https://t.co/g41r8r2Q1V… #radiomoments
@The42_ie You'd miss analogue spill over all the same. If @rte and @2rnNMC put 252LW back on air then at least receivers up north would have sound if not pictures. Due back on air August 12th. Best maintained transmitter in the world.
Went out yesterday in search of a quiet VLF-LF-MF receiving location.
I heard the LW broadcasters on
🇬🇧 198kHz
🇱🇺 234kHz
🇮🇪 252kHz
as well as the NDBs
🇱🇺 Diekirch
🇩🇪 Kempen
🇩🇪 Köln/Bonn
🇱🇺 Betzdorf
