[HCDX] FW: [mwc] UK LPAMs BFBS

[Mike Barraclough <mikewb@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In reply to Eike Bierwirth this was on the Medium Circle list. These are low
power AM licecnes, power I think is only 1 watt.

BFBS Northern Ireland - three more LPAM transmitters have been installed on
1287 kHz - at Shackleton Barracks, Ballykelly (Co Londonderry), Lisnakelly
Barracks, Omagh (Co Tyrone) and RAF Aldergrove (Co Antrim). The main outlet
at Thievpal Barracks, Lisburn is also on 1287 kHz.


Observed at Sheigra: During local programming BRBS Lisburn announces
coverage of Aldergrove, Omagh, Ballykelly and Lisburn, so if there are
separate transmitters the programming appears to be run as a network.

I'm not sure if the network was on air since no echo/delay was audible on
1287kHz. 

Local programmes observed before 0900 local and after 1000 local (between
0900-1000 programme seemed to be a BFBS network show. Weekend mornings were
BFBS network shows.
