Hi Keith,

I don't think the FM was coming from Blades House when I made these recordings on 16th March, because it would have been very weak at my location if that was the case.

When it was coming from West Brom over Easter '86, it was a very very poor signal with me on FM. The MW was strong though, at least during daylight hours.

Was and still am sad to hear the bad news of last week...

8 new/updated recordings have been added to the County page today.

If that's your bag, there have also been new recordings added the EST and Sounds Alternative pages too.

The files are labelled NEW or UPDATED.
