All I know is that the first two are on the Radio Garden App! I never knew Zenith was on SW - pirate broadcasts? I assume you mean Zenith Classic Rock.

That’s the one

Yes, I saw something online which mentioned planned changes. So this is expected.

More often than not, Retro FM only broadcasts on Sunday.

It/s usually around noon Saturdays when Charity Radio or All 80s comes on.

The Energy relay/stream, recently on 99.5 FM, does not always come on for the whole weekend, although lately it has. Energy could be on 1395 kh AM but not on 99.5. Of course, if Energy has not come on at all at the time your post was typed, that would explain it too!

Update: Energy Power AM is on this afternoon on 1395kh AM. When I checked last (about a half-hour ago), it was not on 99.5 FM. Nothing was on 94.3 or 92.0 - I didn't expect Retro FM to be on.

Storms are not conducive to putting aerials up and TXS on when you are up on the side of a mountain.


Re the query on Galaxy and the UNID Dublin dance station , fairly sure there is no connection.

Galaxy seem to be hell bent on getting a signal into Dublin from Kildare which is no easy task.

Energy were back on 99.5 FM later this afternoon!

dxireland

I think it's the opposite they don't want to be broadcast in dublin
This is why they're jumping site back into Kildare
If I remember right a few years ago
They had a very strong signal reports from when they operated in Kildare Portlaoise all the way to CityWest then you would lose them

Couldn’t pick up FreeDAB in Cork today, Just Power and Caroline (relaying the UK station of the same name) on FM

Losty Dublin

A post on the FB Irish Anorak page stated that Breffni/Carousel came on air on Saturday on 98.4 FM. Output seems to have been recordings from it's run on air the mid 90's onwards, which itself featured a lot of country and Irish music.

Galaxy fm must be pushing some power they can be picked up in parts of carlow town all be it faint it can be picked up with rds

dxireland

I wouldn't think big power probably just height

I also pick them up earlier on,
Out in coill dubh co kildare
Audio sounds good
Some nice imaging on Air

Insidethetent

Haven't heard anything from galaxy in several days around Dublin.

end of the road

they are back on 94.3, complete with jingles and all as i was listening earlier.

dxireland

I think they're finished broadcasting into Dublin
It's great to see so much activity on the FM dial
We need pirate radio who agrees

And that we surely do but a few super pirates is what is really needed

dxireland

Would be great but they wouldn't last long on Air no point pumping money into a Super pirate to be closed in a few weeks in blessing this morning picking up kildare's Galaxy

Apparently the transmitter site is in allen Kildare.

But if enough pirate's came together and formed a super pirate wouldn't need high power tx just enough of them to cover a large areas

dxireland

It's the only dance station with live shows
Every so often
Listening Now DJ John 90s show
Have they got a website with livestream ?
