83 years ago tonight: all change on BBC airwaves. All transmitters
closed at 7pm except for one longwave (200kHz) and one mediumwave
(1149kHz) channel which told listeners to retune to two other MW
channels (668 & 767) to hear the new wartime Home Service which
started at 8.15pm.

happening.....
But how many will be listening, I wonder?
The BBC no longer has control of all the broadcasting services
available to the British public, and there weren't any websites or
streaming services 83 years ago.

Also we are not worried (at the moment) about German bombers using the transmitters as navigation beacons.

No, it'll be the Russians if anybody, and they'll probably use satnav
to guide their missiles like everybody else. Maybe they'll remember at
the last minute that the system is operated by the Americans. It
wouldn't surprise me if there's a plan for this eventuality, involving
a quick reconfiguration of the satnav system to act as a "return to
sender" function for nuclear missiles. For a few minutes, all over the
world, there would be a slight increase in stupid people driving their
cars into rivers, but Russia would no longer be a problem.
(I'm sure the Chinese would like to take over the world as well, but
they'll have more subtle financial ways of doing it because their
leader isn't the same kind of psychopath).
In Northern Ireland, since although on paper the gov relief payments
are in law now, they are still arguing between each other as to who does
what in the executive and no plans to pay the dosh have been done yet.
Its a great pity that politicians cannot separate their dogma
disagreements
from the things they need to deal with for the greater good of the
public.

Like the vatican removing three books from the bible, because it didn't
fit their agenda.

More like 14, and they removed them because they were apocryphal.
