    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
