It's not really that high, and those property owners with the best height aren't likely to get involved with hosting a transmission site. In saying that, it may have been used at some stage but I don't know.

They appeared belatedly last weekend as it was on last Sunday night, I heard them signing off at around 11PM

I heard the following around Stillorgan, Kilmacud and Dundrum areas this evening:
FM:
88.8 - Easy Radio
94.3 - Phever
99.5 - Fresh FM
102.5 - 1025 Kiss (that's what the RDS says anyway!)

AM/MW:
1395 kh - Energy AM

I could not pick up The Beach this time when scanning - they are on 105.7. Retro FM was not on tonight on 92.0.

Was in the car earlier and went off around 3.15.

Energy AM relaying Dublin South FM today , hard to choose which is more enjoyable to listen to DS on FM or DS with audio processing on AM.

The 96FM TX was on again last night - relaying the ABC 94FM Dublin stream

Also a blank carrier in the city centre on 107.8

I get them all the way to drogheda no prob. I was told before the pirates in dub normally push 1000 watts kiss must be at least double

was listening to Energy AM today ( sounds great for a AM pirate ) they had some live shows I heard Brian Kelly , Paul Murray and early this morning a Dave Evans,Some good tunes .
Maybe they are starting to do live shows again .

overseer · 06-10-2019 01:39PM

80s music playing on 1350 khz medium wave. A resurgence of interest in AM radio maybe? Signal very low in Dublin, it's better on the Carlow SDR at the moment.

SATNAV · 06-10-2019 05:36PM

Heard it today , relaying the all 80s jukebox

Brian Kelly and Paul Murray are the two guys behind Energy AM and I have heard them on a number of occasions. Who is Dave Evans? Is he a guest presenter or is he an extra person who has on-going involvement with the station, and has he previous radio experience?

Is this a new AM pirate in Dublin or is it coming from somewhere else? That is quite a development if it is from Dublin as Energy has had the field to itself for many years.

SATNAV · 06-10-2019 08:55PM

Hi Declan
the 1350AM was not from Dublin as I lost it on the way back from Enfield earlier this morning about 12 , it was relaying all80s Jukebox.

castle2012 · 06-10-2019 10:44PM

retro now is sounding awful around Dublin .They have either turned down the power or moved site .That station Fresh FM sounds better ( and Fresh Fm is terrible excuse of a station )
I hope they sort it or maybe move to Freedab

I think it's a bit of both. They were on FreeDAB but pulled out when they heard they had to come off FM (one of the terms I believe) when the Dublin Mux came on. The 90's Network pulled out too, and Phever also.

According to the Facebook page it’s a mix from a DJ at a festival a few months ago, So not a live show but it’s something different.
