The RTÉ longwave transmitter on 252 kHz failed to return to the air
yesterday after yet another long maintenance period. As well as being of
interest to DXers, this is an important link for the elderly Irish
diaspora on the west coast of Britain but has been threatened with
closure several times in recent years. RTÉ's transmission network 2rn
can be contacted at 2rn@2rn.ie or on Twitter at @2rnNMC. (John Walsh,
