I wonder just how hard they (BBC etc) tried to get someone interested in running the mast . With the present idea of MW being used if at all by LPAM local stations run not for profit surely it might have been given a possible 10 or 20 year more valuable use.

radio 1 on 275m/1053khz and 285m/1053khz and radio 2 on 433m/693khz and 330m/909khz also varied accross the country at night:n.lancs served by barrow mw tx faded in and out rather badly after dark but better in s.lakeland area,humberside served by hull mw tx was better than moorside edge. In n.yorkshire and ne england moorside edge faded badly while lancs merseyside and cheshire at night got it better.

@AnthonyUK problem with MW fading at night was only a problem on Radio 3 after the new frequencies, I seem to recall. Before 1978 Radio 3 had a far better place on the MW, not subject to interference from foreign radio stations. After the changes, it was terrible. Fortunately, by then most were migrating to stereo FM.

Very interesting. Just one correction to the intro, though. The Third Programme had already been on the air for four years before the Dodford mast came into service.

Problem with MW is the fade at night.

@pianistcarllewis I had a freind who was a GM4 and a BBC transmiter manager who operated 80m via the towers at one of the BBC sites after his evening shift ended. That was in the days when the broadcasts stopped overnight. He had great results.
