If it was not for freq overlap those kind of sites must do the best part of 120miles if there was a good rx at the rx end. Was it a lift NE ? Fog on the barrow down ?
The dial is Glowing 88-108 , spin the wheel to light those Red LEDs , see signal needle rise.

it was a lift for sure, I think they made the towers the same height across the country, I suppose once they knew what would stay up.
I think theres the hepburn forecast is like a map which shows were you might get a lift, mostly used by hams, maybe useful for fm too
