Talk:Sandy Heath transmitting station

Possible technical error
"From its start until late 1966, the transmitter could not broadcast schools programmes in the morning because the frequency (waveband) clashed with the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory in nearby Cambridgeshire. Anglia TV broadcast on channel 6 from noon to midnight, and the astronomy observatory broadcast on it during the morning."

Do radio observatories broadcast? I thought they only received signals, not transmitted them? I would assume that the issue was interference from the transmitter being received at the MRAO, not that the MRAO was broadcasting on frequencies used by the transmitter? Perhaps someone with more knowledge of radio astronomy can confirm and correct if necessary? Spl237. 21:36, Jul 30, 2018 (BST)
