Ditto Stoke Mandeville Hospital Radio - I note that Radio Tyneside is also a Hospital RSL.
Apart from that, not much to worry about on that channel - 30kW from Italy and 800kW from both Iran and the UAE - all a long way away.
On the other hand, I remember picking up Radio Caroline North (10kW, vertical antenna) in Anzio (30 miles south of Rome and 1250 miles from the Isle of Man) on a little tranny in 1964 to listen to 'Murph the Surf's Midnight Soul Party' after Radio Prague (co-channel with Caroline North on 1520kHz) closed down. The Irish Sea obviously made a good ground plane!
