[BC] Question about radio in England

[Scott Fybush]

Google is your friend here, Paul -

A search on "Classic Gold transmitter site" will bring you to 
http://tx.mb21.co.uk/gallery/, my friend Mike Brown's amazingly detailed 
and stunningly comprehensive site that depicts nearly everything in the UK 
that emits RF. Spend a few hours there and you'll learn more than you ever 
wanted to know about British transmitter sites, including the local 
commercial AM stations, which are generally quite low-powered (500-1000 
watts), often using longwire antennas; the national networks, which use 
high-powered (up to 250 kW) sites, also often on longwires; and the VHF DAB 
system, which will soon be the only set of transmitters Classic Gold uses - 
they've said they're planning on leaving medium wave in 2007.
