A long time ago that was a BBC frequency. Whether it is now I couldn't tell you. With the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the BBC is reviving a lot of silent frequencies to hit the war zone.

It still is, for now: BBC Radio 4 (domestic service) during the day and evening, BBC World Service for some period overnight (all UK time).

You can always confirm by checking against their internet audio stream or turn on a UK SDR (or Twente) tuned to 198.
