Hi.
Andy and myself have to concede that we don't hold any sort of a record on receiving Caroline on 648kHz. There has been really good reports from Northern Sweden and Norway with other European DXers getting phenomenal results.
Personally I doubt Ofcom will have an issue, they are aware of how medium wave's propagation changes in the dark and is seasonably variable into the bargain.
Recently Ofcom have issued a number of licences on Medium Wave and this for us has to be good, at least they are not brushing Medium Wave into the rubbish bin. Caroline is a very responsible broadcaster and that is one of the reasons they were allocated 1Kw ERP.
I'm all for well run community radio and if done properly well why not allow more of these transmitters, the Europeans are dying out, why though should we. Come Brexit we could be to the forefront of using a really good medium for promoting local events, local retailers and traffic reports. Medium wave is not dead yet so lets keep it up and running.
