Test tones on BBC VHF FM stations.

Post by octave9 » Fri Mar 03, 2017 1:56 pm

I don't suppose there were many people listening to the BBC on VHF in the early hours of this morning, but I was surprised to hear programming interrupted without warning by a series of audio test tones. One of the tones was really low frequency, but came through well on my HiFi.

Was it a one off? Or do they do that often?

Reason: No reason
