New Illinois SDRs

I thought it might be. I always hear pretty strong signals on the European SDRs when sliding by 720.

There's nothing huge on 720 in Europe, the BBC signal from Cyprus is directional into the Middle East and away from Europe. It's mostly just a lot of smaller 1kW-10kW pests, there are a few UK stations (BBC Radio 4 relays) on there along with a couple of Romanians. Just enough "stuff" to make it a crowded channel for DX.

It is crowded when I tune to 720 on the European receivers.

BBC radio 4 has multiple transmitters on 720. Including the one that serves Central London. I forget how many others there are, but if memory serves, it's about a half dozen or less. I seem to recall that the one in Central London is 1kw (or thereabouts).

I thought so. I usually hear what sounds like the BBC when listening to the receivers over there.

The highest power one is at Lisnagarvey in Northern Ireland, it reaches large parts of northern England and Scotland (as well as obviously Ireland) in daytime. They're infills providing the "long wave" programme service where the 198 kHz signal is relatively weak. It splits from the main Radio 4 FM service for some religious services and in-depth political programming, as well as live cricket coverage.

Maybe that's the one I hear when I tune to the Arctic or Iceland receivers.
