Re: [IRCA] LWBC tonite

[Sylvain Naud <sylvainnaud62@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Marc,

About the 183 frequency, I know that a couple of years ago, the top one 
of their four towers collapsed so they have to re-arrange the antenna 
array. Based on this article (in German, use a translator) 
http://www.saar-nostalgie.de/Europe1Unfall.htm , the power has also been 
lowered to 1000 Kw along with a new tower arrangement.

Same result here with a signal decline since then.
