U.K. UK transmitter sites on Google Street Maps. Google Street Maps extended its coverage to most of the UK on Friday. I've been spending ages viewing the house I grew up in and the surrounding area which I haven't visited for years :) There's a thread on the Digital Spy radio forum Google Street View Radio Stations and Transmitters Game which has currently got 96 posts, most with more than one site/studio, mostly domestic but here's the post with links to Wooferton, Rampisham and Skelton: Google Street Maps now has nearly national coverage of Spain, France, Italy and the US according to UK newspaper articles.

(Edward Kusalik-Alb-CAN, DXplorer March 18) 5080 George McClintock tells me that WTWW is moving from 5755 to 5080 kHz starting 0000 UT Saturday March 13. The frequency has been approved by the FCC, subject to the usual NIB complaints, which could end it in one day or somewhere down the road. I am afraid there will be some, as there is a pretty constant and strong ute on 5078, which I just reconfirmed at 0025 UT March 12, not sure of the mode, but sort of RTTY with regular beep patterns. Even if it does not complain, should be considerable QRM to WTWW. He says WTWW will remain on 9480 as day frequency, and 5755 to be held for WTWW-2, now under construxion but not to be on the air for a few months. It appears that Scriptures for America Pastor Pete Peters will continue to be the prime if not only customer on WTWW-1. 9480, however was off the air when I checked at 2135 and 2258 March 11. George says he was working on getting the remote control funxional, and now it is; 5755 was on as usual at 0025 UT March 12. (Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, dxld March 13) 5080 UNID (tentative: WTWW, Lebanon in Tennessee, USA), 1008-1015 UT, March 14, English, Religious talk by male (in english), 24422 Strong QSB. (Arnaldo Slaen-ARG, DXplorer Mar 14) It is WTWW, Arnaldo, ending "Scriptures for America" prgm at 1100* UTC. Said they were "closing down on this frequency" at 1100 UT but kept going. Very strong here. (John Herkimer-USA, DXplorer March 14) Arnaldo and others, thanks for highlighting this. This morning I heard 5080 kHz the Gospel Station WTWW fading in at 0020 UT, peaking around 0040 UT staying there till 0100 UT and diving down to nothing by 0115 UT. BTW sunrise here is 0015 UT or so these days and here in the tropics it gets dark very fast after sunset and also daylight zooms in a few minutes after sunrise. I want to send a report. I heard bits and pieces and could follow a bit now and then. I have 100% on this one but will they?!! I don't chase QSLs much tho. I have logged more than 200 SWBC but have about 500 QSLs!! I will wait a few more days to see if things get better! Can someone give me a QSL address. They announced both a POBox and www, but I couldn't copy clearly enough. This is 50 kW I presume. Thanks guys. Victor. (Victor A. Goonetilleke-CLN 4S7VK, DXplorer March 17) Hi Victor, The only address I could find is: Leap of Faith, Radio Station WTWW, 6611 Ormond Dr, Nashville, TN 37205, U.S.A. There is a website but no contact information there. The FCC database shows 50 and 100 kW: (John Herkimer-USA, DXplorer March 17) Yahoo maps, MS Virtual Earth, Google Earth imagery.
