In reply to Rog Wilko:
I've recently started to listen to RTE 1 on long wave, comes through well in the Penrith area. I stumbled on it while testing a 1960 Ever Ready (Berec) Auto-Portable in a picnic box style which I'd just fixed. It's on 252kHz just up from R4 and it usually leaves me with a smile on my face as an antidote to the constant bitching and anti-man stuff on R4 through the day.
English language radio from the EU, who would have thunk it?
