    Have they recently put up the strength of their transmitter, I never used
    to be able to hear it down here in surrey.
    Of course it could have been the French and local radio station shut downs that has made it audible now.

    Probably because 1368 kHz now has a clear run (at least in the UK)

    Was used for BBC Sussex, Wilts, and Lincs. All gone now.

    How come we all rely on Mark to do our research? I'm as guilty as
    anyone. Are we all just a set of lazy blighters?

    I think these practices just evolve by custom and practice. I used to
    get asked by my boss for advice about spelling.

    It's more to do with my selective memory. I can remember pointless Tx
    facts from yonks ago, but not (apparently) being told to empty the
    washing machine after breakfast

    I decide for myself that I must put some washing on and then completely

    I could find no obvious answer to such a technically involved question.

    I decide to turn off the central heating to go out, then, a minute or
    less later, can't remember whether I did, as the noise keeps on for a
    few minutes.
