Lots of problems in Pwllheli and Lleyn area. Cannot believe that there is no work being done somewhere.
This has been going on for a week.

G LL Williams:
From The Wrekin pages today
"This is very likely caused by the high atmospheric pressure affecting various parts of the country, causing lift conditions which allow signals from distant transmitters which cannot normally be received to interfere with the signals from the transmitter you normally use. Do not attempt to retune as this will delete all of your channels which are already correctly tuned. As this is an entirely natural phenomenon, all you can do is wait for the atmospheric conditions to return to normal."
