Bill and Taffy, No negativity my end just an observation, some times pretty darn good for longer periods, then disappeares completely just as David said after bad buffering problems, which is the obvious issue, as others have noticed audio is extremely good quality for AM band, myself and missus listen to 648 all the time, very frustrating when nobody speaks much about Carolines transmission via medium wave, just wish offcom would pull there fingers out re-power increase, All the best Euro Man
