(Dublin South-Central): RTE say that reception of Radio 1 in County Kerry is generally reasonable but that reception on medium wave is subject to interference after dark from a foreign station which is operating in contravention of the current international agreement governing the use of medium wave broadcasting frequencies. Efforts are being made through international channels to have the source of the interference eliminated but it is not possible to say at this stage if these will be successful.
