Radio can be equally fascinating and frustrating. Just occasionally, (usually with autumn and winter anticyclones), I can hear the Tower controllers at Manchester from my home near LBA. That's with a distance of about forty statute miles and some Pennines in between. I never get Radar or Director though. On the moors above Otley, the Teesside UHF Tower uplink comes through quite well on a handheld and rubber helical antenna. It's quite possibly line of sight and a distance of about 35 miles.

Leeds Delivery is now back on 121.805. I don't know why it went there in the first place.

Leeds Radar on 134.580 continues to be afflicted by background interference, resulting in hissy white noise behind the controller's transmissions.
