Its a great pity there is no decent accurate details of dates for switch offs..... I would like to make a wideband recording of closures.... You would expect that for example the week leading up to christmas and beyond would not be in the running due to the holidays???
But all the speculation on here in the past about the smooth and gold closures was not only inaccurate but there are still transmitters left on air!!
Gone are the days of the IBA Engineering announcements and BBC Engineering information....
Have all or any of the sites or the former ILR stations been demolished already and radials dug up etc??? Or are they mothballed???
