World Service Reception in Europe
I'm thinking of taking a radio with me to Scandinavia this summer. But with the march to digitalise everything, the BBC have switched off SW transmissions for Europe.
The best information I can gather from their website is that I can only pick it up if they have a local partner broadcasting on FM or digital (unlikely in remote areas) or cable (equally unlikely in a tent!)
Seems the days of packing a lightweight SW portable for the cricket scores are a thing of the past. Digital's fine, when it works, but in this case, it ain't necessarily progress. Plus as someone on the other thread pointed out, they use a lot more juice.
I did email Auntie for advice but maybe Matt can suggest something?
Indoors.
