[QUOTE="geoffreys, post: 29256, member: 176167"] Fair comment. However if they turn down the power anymore then no one will be able to receive it, including those the transmissions are intended for! The power is currently so low that only those (like me) living VERY close by can even receive a signal at all, never mind decode it. I am about 600 metres from one of the BFBS transmitters and have to use a hi-gain yagi plus a 40 dB amplifier just to get a signal. There are married staff quarters near to me, they have to use similar equipment. Picking up BFBS, when they don't want us to, is no different to picking up SKY TV outside the UK. Bottom line is that radio waves are no respecter of borders. Geoff [/QUOTE]
