Driving into work this morning, I was listening to Heart for a wee bit.

I happened to look at the RDS display on the stereo and it read He!rp rather than Heart!

It was cold this morning so I thought maybe some condensation related issue but checking Forth 1, Black Diamond, etc. all show up correctly, it's just Heart that has changed.

A quick Google doesn't bring anything up - I had wondered if it was some kind of sponsored change but nope.

Anyone else notice the same?

It's because the US are activating all their dormant military comms and positioning satellites.

Back to normal on the way home.

Those satellites must have been switched off!

I've found that recently Heart has had a pretty poor signal anytime i have tuned in, the stereo takes a fair bit of time to display the name, whereas it's instantaneous on aby other station?
