The above stations were all heard at the Ab Fab guest house, on Hornby Road, from 17-21 August 2000.
Many of the stations were also heard on a radio walkman, at the top of Blackpool Tower.

Reception at the top of Blackpool Tower is, ironically, quite difficult - as my receiver got severely overloaded by the powerful signal from Wave FM 96.5, which broadcasts from the top of Blackpool Tower.

Brilliant views can be obtained from there in clear conditions, though - as far as the Lake District in the north, the Pennines in the East, and the Isle of Man in the South and West.
