Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributors, Richard Langley and Mauno Ritola, who shared frequencies and times for the test transmissions in advance of the BBC Midwinter broadcast next week (June 21).<\/p>\n

I didn’t get their tips in time to post prior to the transmissions yesterday, however, Mauno believes there may<\/em> be another test transmission today.<\/p>\n
