Garry, Plenty of people DO live out in the sticks where mobile coverage on 4G is patchy at best and non existent for a lot of the time. Dab is not great either. For us MW still represents a viable and low fiddle factor alternative. If you look at the TX parameters spreadsheet provided by OFCOM there are several stations running at below their licenced ERP and often major broadcasters will be running on low power for maintenance purposes. In the case of RC, people living in the TSA barely notice the difference between 4Kw and 2Kw. To add to that, the service, run mainly by volunteers has been far more reliable than ever it was from the high seas. Possibly an unpopular opinion on this half of the free radio forum but still my station of choice. BTW I notice the output from Mendlesham Tx on 106.4 which covers a large swathe of east anglia has changed from Kiss FM to greatest hits radio which is a music format more like R2. So how can Global just Do that mid licence ?, because essentially they have just dropped a service and introduced something completely different.
