Another remarkable novelty is the return of RNW English to mediumwave
after 2.5 years; the Orfordness transmitter on 1296 will carry it daily
1459-1600, in addition to RNW Dutch (Mon-Fri 0759-1000, stays hereby at
same local time). This is remarkable in as far as 1296 beams towards
Central Europe. All earlier mediumwave transmissions of RNW English, with
the last attempt being made in the A05 season on a very late 2300-2400
slot on the Swedish 1179 transmitter, were primarily meant for listeners
in the UK.

NETHERLANDS/UK Doesn't 1296 have good general coverage of the U K anyway
and non-insular Europe? Yes, probably discussed before when it was DRM,
etc., but perhaps you can refresh us. (Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, dxld)
Just uploaded some stuff to the Yahoo group, only to discover later that
it is still online...
1296 coverage, groundwave as well as skywave:
Transmitter site in 2001:
Picture 6: 2 x 250 kW Doherty modulation transmitters for 1296. The RNW
transmissions must be run with this cute pair, since 300 kW are in use. I
can't find the manufacturer of these transmitters specified, also never
saw such rigs elsewhere. Perhaps Marconi?
Picture 12: Probably these Optimod 9100 are no longer in use for the BBC
on 648, since the audio processing has been modified some time ago, as
discussed in DXLD. Otherwise not much should have changed.
Picture 14: Left another 250 kW Doherty mod as aux for 648, centre the
main for 648, a Telefunken S4006.
Nautel NA200 (200 kW AM carrier power "only", thus the old tube rigs must
be in use for 300 kW AM), used for DRM on 1296:
