I too will shed a tear when analogue shuts down. It has been a robust and reliable platform for almost as long as I can remember. I will especially miss the dynamic range offered by Nicam stereo. I do think the MPEG/2 sounds leaves a lot to be desired.
Curiously, since it raised its ERP on selected MUXs at switchover,I now receive a good signal (weather dependent) from Sandy Heath here in Lawford CO11 as the TX there is in the same direction as Sudbury.
