Why am I receiving poor BBC Radio 2 reception between J17 and J19 of the
M25?
We are aware of some listeners reporting variable reception for BBC
Radio 2 on the M25 between J17 and J19, and surrounding areas including
Rickmansworth and Chorleywood.

This is due to an unlicensed broadcast (Pirate Radio) and enforcement
action by Ofcom, the communications regulator.
END QUOTE

Why does the enforcement action add to the interference?

Perhaps the enforcement guys are blocking the signal. Probably not but then
so few people can write in English these days. You should see the homework
my daughter brings home and that's BEFORE she gets to it.

BTW any errors in the above text are obviously deliberate and for comic
relief ;-).

Yes, most people just assemble letters or statements from already existing
phrases these days. Its a bit like that old game of making a well known
phrase or saying out of the words, only this is make a legible letter out of
phrases.
Have you seen some of the appointment letters sent out by nhs, and energy
and utility companies if they vary from the norm, they tend to make no sense
whatsoever.

Would the BBC Radio 2 there be a local one or the Main station for the wider
area?
If a local one would it be turned off so that Ofcom can locate the Pirates?
Just an idea
Really to me seems you just being fobbed off as the BBC Reception Dept.
usually do these days.

Is there anyone in the area who could listen on that and adjacent
frequencies for any unauthorized-sounding signals?

We have an NHS letter offering physiotherapy which says in para 2 that
if they haven't heard from us within two weeks they will assume the
treatment is no longer required and in para 3 that if they haven't heard
from us within three weeks they will assume the treatment is no longer
required.
