Dr David MillsRecording the last 20 days of BBC Radio4 on Long-wave.
I wonder why the shutdown was moved from September to June. Anyone know?
Carlo IU1KGS 📻@dtl I don’t know, but I’d imagine that the rising cost of energy due to the clown over the Atlantic has something to do with it.
@IU1KGS Maybe.
I can't find any indication if they are just cutting the modulation and leaving the carrier for the teleswitch signal, or what.
Marcus Müller@dtl @IU1KGS I'd infer they can't cut the RTS at the same time, https://www.elexon.co.uk/bsc/data/trading-operations-report/metering-data-trading-operations-report/#number-of-radio-teleswitch-meters in conjunction with https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-steps-in-to-protect-consumers-with-old-energy-meters
But it might be that the BBC just realized tgat it's not limiting their ability to eliminate power spent on audio broadcast sidebands and just leave the carrier up for PSK modulation; should also potentially prolong life (esp. considering *how* far behind the rts meter replacements are for a life-critical system)
