"there are three transmitters lying idle in the building in athlone town, one is a historic 1932 marconi set, also there's a brown bovery, all in good condition, it would be a shame if these sets were quietly ripped out and dumped and the building sold ,it is hopeful that a committee might be formed by radio entheusists to vollinteer and run the building and its contents as a museum ,it would make a good point of interest as a tourist attraction ..."

Probably poor selectivity in your receiver. There is or, at least, used to be, a marine band immediately below the broadcast medium waveband.
As Athlone was close to the band edge and the tuning gang near maximum capacity, the Q factor was at its lowest, so selectivity would be poor.
