Ich komm nochmal zurück zu meiner ersten Beobachtung, in einer Mitteilung schrieben die im Juni

Listeners may have noticed that the power output of the signal from the main Droitwich transmitter has been reduced slightly in recent weeks. This is because of reduced interference from other signals in the LW band, and allows the Droitwich signal to reach the same area with lower energy costs. As well as making longwave even more efficient when compared to other platforms, this means that the running costs for longwave are also lower for the BBC, and that the valves used in the transmitter are likely to last longer. All of this bodes well for the continuation of the service, given that the main reason given for ending it was to cut operating and maintenance costs.
