 | | On 17th February 1935 the BBC moved Midlands regional transmitter from Daventry to Droitwich to form the Midlands 'twin-wave' station, on the same day BBC Belfast was renamed BBC Northern Ireland and changed wavelength from 267 to 307 metres, with improved reception. |
 | | The 150kW Droitwich longwave transmitter was also converted to medium wave operation and together with the other former National Programme transmitters, was synchronised on 1149kHz and broadcast the European Service during the hours of darkness. |
 | | Subsequently the 5XX transmitter at Daventry, the Droitwich transmitter and a new transmitter installed at Brookmans Park were established as a longwave group of transmitters to broadcast the European Service on 200kHz, later joined by a high power transmitter at Ottringham in the East Yorkshire Riding, in February 1943, also using 200kHz. |
