[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 470708, member: 176256"] Arrow Classic Rock in Holland is not the same as The Arrow here. I thought there were similar until I listened to The Arrow here. I couldn't belive how unbelievably London-centric it was. There were practically insulting everyone outside of the M25 by forgetting they existed, what with reports of traffic jams in Bond street or whatever. Anyway, tried it a few times a couple of years ago and never went back. Sporadic E. Sorry, should've explained. It's a phenomenom that occurs in Summer where radio wvaes in the VHF frequencies travel hundeds of miles further than they normally would. Normally any VHF waves directed toward the sky simply keep going but just occasionally they get reflected back down to earth. they can be very straong. I remember driving down through mid-Wales a few (quite a few!) years ago listening to my FM radio. Suddenly I was listening to a Spanish station. This continued for about 15 minutes and then disappeared. It's this localised and short duration. Hence - spradic. The E comes from the layer in the atmosphere in which the reflection takes place.
