Bristol Digital Radio CICHaving a bit of late night signal weakness in the city centre this evening. Hopefully it'll be better after a good night's rest. 😴
That a consultation on turning off some national AM transmitters only got four responses is revealing. And one of those was (paraphrased) - please turn them off, they're interfering with my DXing. 🗼
