Hi Thomas,
The BBC in their transition to digital radio has started closing some of their AM radio stations.
See following link:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/reception/work-warning/news/mw-closures-2021
The AM stations being closed are broadcasting “Re-Tune” instructions on their frequencies.
Not sure how long they will be doing this. The “Re-Tune” messages are interesting.
I have used the G4DYA KiwiSDR web receiver to listen and record some of the “Re-Tune” messages.
Most are just straight forward instructions, but Radio Hereford-Worcester on 738 has recorded individual
messages by several of their on-air personalities. The messages just loop continuously.
Attached are MP3 files for 738 Radio Hereford-Worcester, 1035 Radio Sheffield, 1341 Radio Ulster and 1503 Radio Stoke.
