[QUOTE="steeviebops, post: 1081455, member: 414368"] The Marconi transmitter at Droitwich was installed in 1985 so it isn’t terribly old, but it is valve-based. Despite that, I think the Guardian article about the valves was a bit exaggerated - it made it seem that the TX was a relic from the 1940s or something. Atlantic 252 had the same problem, they used a pair of 300kW valve-based Continental units and were horribly inefficient. RTE replaced them with a single 300kW solid state unit when they took over the 252 frequency for RTE Radio 1. [/QUOTE]
