Very true, Joe - And that worked because the BBC had multiple relay sites that often simultaneously used those frequencies. I remember the older Passports would often show "Multiple Locations" for the BBC listings on 5975 / 12095 / 15070.
Funny thing, though...I use Replay A/V to capture live audio and save as MP3s for those instances that programs aren't archived, and I have to be careful which URL I enter for a live stream; sometimes the embedded URL for a stream changed from day to day, the same way broadcasters would capriciously change frequencies. (Radio Moscow...which normally had two dates of partial changes WITHIN a broadcast season in addition to the main date...particularly annoying in the digital frequency era...) For many years I also cheerfully sent $$ towards Messrs. Sundstrom and Fine because they had the discipline to update those frequency schedules...
