There was a thread about this many years ago and the failure of Irish stations to use the TA system.

Is this a faulty radio or do RTE spuriously broadcast this signal? Anyone else noticed this?

RTE used to broadcast the TA flag many years ago, and sometimes they would "forget" to switch it off.
It's not used really anymore. I often thought about turning it on just becuse I can :)
