IRELAND LF 252. However, I can get Eire 252 Summerhill's signal with nil
or almost nil QRM, depending on the conditions, thanks to the K9AY.
By the way, does anyone know the genuine name for the Irish tx location
listed as being located at Summerhill - what on earth is this for a true
Irish name?! It should be Goidelic, not English!

The Irish LW station is located NW of Dublin in County Meath and really is
adjacent to the town/village of Summerhill. There's probably an Irish name
for it - as there is in Wales and parts of Scotland for various places -
but reference is to Summerhill. On You Tube ask for >Atlantic 252 Station
Launch 01-09-89< and you will see a shot of the mast which seems to be
just beyond someones back garden. Transmitting sites are usually named
after the nearest town or village - 198 isn't within Droitwich but some
way south of that town. Moorside Edge really is built on the edge of a
moor and is not the name of a town or village. Wolfy could no doubt give
you the actual geographic location of the Summerhill station.
