Low Frequency Radio Transmission

AncientMariner
The annual Christmas Eve message will be transmitted in Morse code on December 24th at 08:00 utc (UK Time) on 17.2 kHz. Tuning up commences at about 07:30 utc.

If interested and you do not have a suitable receiver in the conventional sense, you can use the sound card in your pc and this software https://sites.google.com/site/sm6lkm/saqrx/ together with a decent length of wire.

The transmission will be screened live at  YouTube Channel.

    1967, the BBC split the Light Programme into a pop music and entertainment network. The Light Programme became BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 2 long wave. The BBC Third Programme became BBC Radio 3,  Home Service was renamed BBC Radio 4.

    In 1978  radio 4 moved to a longwave channel  on 198khz, and radio 2 moved back to medium wave.




    Does Radio 4 continue on longwave for strategic reasons?


    1. The shipping forecast - moved from Radio 2 in 1978.

    2. For Royal Navy submarines to detect if the UK (probably) still exists and hasn't been blasted off the face of the earth!
