17 Jun 01 - 05:31 PM (#485598) Subject: Llanfair on local radio From: Llanfair BBC radio Maldwyn is doing a piece about "Songs from Ashdale" on Monday, 18th June. They are interviewing me over the 'phone sometime tomorrow, and playing some of the tracks. The folk programme goes out from 8pm till 10 every Monday, and can be picked up on Medium wave within a 30 mile radius of Montgomeryshire, the part of Powys, Wales, where I live. I'll mention the Mudcats if I can. I'll also be mentioning the gig we're doing next Saturday with my son's band "Tenth Planet" in Llanfyllin, which is 15 miles from here. If anyone would like to come, we could provide floor space for overnight stays. Cheers, Bron. |

I've been wanting to ask for some time, is your name short for "Llanfairpwllgwysiliogogogoch"? I never remeber the spelling, but perhaps it's easy enough for Welsh speakers to remember, a composite word. |

18 Jun 01 - 03:33 AM (#485826) Subject: RE: Llanfair on local radio From: John J Radio Maldwyn is audible (just!) in Manchester. If you have a decent portable radio (which will have a ferrite rod internal aerial...highly directional) you can null out the interfering adjacent staions by rotating the radio. Alternatively a good selective radio with a decent aerial. Bron, can you confirm the frequency please (I think it's 756khz, but I'm at work away from me wireless). I'll try and have a listen! John |

18 Jun 01 - 11:14 AM (#485924) Subject: RE: Llanfair on local radio From: Llanfair John, you are right, it is 756, and I'm amazed that it can be heard in Manchester!! I'll get Jim to record it for posterity, if he can, but, if not, I'll tell you about the interview later. Cheers, Bron. |

18 Jun 01 - 11:28 AM (#485935) Subject: RE: Llanfair on local radio From: John J It rather depends on many variables just coming right....you can't hear it in the winter at night (too much foreign interference) but it's acceptable during the day. It's inaudible during a lot of the day in the summer, but ok in the morning and evening. Unfortunately medium wave does suffer from static (lightning discharge) problems in the summer. I look forward to hearing you through the crackles! John |
