Re: [IRCA] LWBC tonite

[Sylvain Naud <sylvainnaud62@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Mauno for that updated info. Both MWLIST & WRTH 2016 are still 
listing 2000 Kw though. Maybe the WRTH 2017, which I'm waiting for my 
copy to arrive, has the updated information?

Backing up Marc on his observation, I also feel that since those 
changes, the overall reception of 183 Europe1 has declined on this side 
of the pond.
