When you say stopped broadcasts to Europe do you mean programming content rather than frequencies used? I hope there is more will to expand these BBC services permanently.
Long time before I got into computers as a career I was a sound recording engineer. I had a brief time at Nottingham University's languages department recording off-air shortwave broadcasts from racks of Eddystone receivers onto 1/4" Levers Rich tape machines. Comparing the diversity of broadcasts then to now is quite startling.
- Nux 5y agoProgramming and freqs afaik, but I could be wrong. When I was scanning the bands in UK/Europe couple of years back never once did I hear BBC..
- digitalsankhara 5y agoInteresting. There are regular transmissions on the 49m band (although they seem to carry programming for Africa) but maybe the skip distance/beam direction is wrong for the EU. I think I misread the article a bit then. I did listen to the 15Mhz transmission today and it was quite strong.
