The TX is a Nautel XR3 - https://www.nautel.com/products/am-transmitters/xr-series/ - with a Nautel Ampfet 2.5 as backup. A switching system installed by Arqiva can change between TXs in less than one second. The XR3 is fitted with a board that adjusts the output power depending on mod level. There was another XR3 on site ten years ago which was not working. Might still be there!
I see 1458 goes off at the end of the month. Maybe one of my all time dx targets of Gibralter will have more chsnce of peeking through.
Never heard it with all the years of UK activity. However, we still have London and Birmingham to get through. Manchester is certainly the most dominant here....
