In the soon-to-be-silenced longwave form, at 199 kHz. Meanwhile ... with longwave somehow being seen as old hat, it may be of interest to note that stateside, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) allows experimental broadcasters to launch special licence-free Low-Frequency Experimental Radio (LowFER) stations in the 160-190 kHz portion of longwave spectrum, provided that: *the station has an Effective Radiated Power (or is that Irradiated?) of no greater than one watt; and *the antenna height is no greater than 50 feet above average terrain.

@mixanblend Yes! I lived there from 1987 until 2000. Back then, it was nearly impossible to get Cayman Status, and I had always wanted to work and live in California, so I moved. I'm a chef. I worked at the Hyatt (now closed) when it first opened, then the Radisson when IT first opened (now Marriott Beach Resort). I worked at a coiole of private restaurants on Seven Mile Beach road and was a partner in a coffee shop/bakery. I don't know how long you go back, but when I first moved to Cayman in '87, there were NO traffic lights (only stop signs) and we just used the last 5 digits of our phone numbers. There were only 23,000 total. If you wanted TV, you had to live where they had a giant 20-foot satellite dish. But I loved it. Everyone knew everyone's business, but they also looked out for you. I broke my leg at one point, and my local friends brought me plates of food and cleaned my apartment! I was even part of the kitchen staff at Government House when Queen Elizabeth and Philip came in 1994. It was a wonderful time to live there. I've been back to visit my longtime friends, but it's SO built up!

"ITS THE NORTH 'LANTIC IN WINTER!!" - Ollie Williams

[@tedf1471]

@@anonUK Yes, if only for the unlikely names of areas of the North Sea - Tiree, Stornoway, Lerwick, Fife Ness, Bridlington, Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic, Greenwich Light Vessel Automatic, Jersey, Channel Light Vessel Automatic, Scilly Automatic, Valentia, Ronaldsway, Malin Head (There are 31 in all!)

[@anonUK]

@@tedf1471 That's what comes of having everyone in Northern and Western Europe turning up to your shores (and Ireland's) and building towns there. Valentia refers to an area of Western Ireland where Spanish survivors of the Armada landed in Catholic territory and later settled. I don't know why so many of the sea areas are called "Automatic"- if it's in reference to the lighthouses, they are all automatic now. It's like having a big "in Colour" sign on your TV station- they gave that up by 1980 when all the TV stations were in colour.

Sounds more like an Australian than any ‘British’ person I’ve ever heard.

[@Tom_YouTube_stole_my_handle]

I thought that too. But you do get a lot of Aussies who sound nearly English on the World Service, so it's accurate in that sense.

[@xr6lad]

Exactly. I listened and immediately thought.....that’s an Aussie accent. And I know as I am british living in Australia. That doesn’t sound british at all.

[@thematt523]

Most of the time when Americans impersonate British people, it comes off as Australian.
