105.7 - No.1FM (can't tell how strong it is)
Asian v/o's as far as I can tell.
Heard around Liffey Valley area

Also 87.6 - reggae music (quite weak)

99.5FM 'Base' audio sounding better. (strong)

This is what I picked up around the southside of Dublin the last few days:
88.1 - NRG FM
91.6 - Easy
93.2 - some dance station - barely audible, very weak
99.5 - Base FM

Around 1:30pm today, I picked up another station while driving in the Leopardstown area. It had no R.D.S., playing dance music, and a good strong signal and was at 94.3 FM. Any ideas?

LASER FM 101.5 have been testing over the weekend, also relaying Flaix Fm from Ibiza at night, ITT FM Tallaght 99.1 tx went off Friday after being left on three weeks after last tx date ! Easy on 91.6 audio low, NRG FM blank carrier today no stereo or rds, 107.1 weak carrier no rds, report from Citywest area.l

end of the road

i don't believe theirs a flaix fm in ibiza, one in catalonia and one in barcelona i believe, open to correction though, think their webstream is taken from their fm feed, it sounds mighty fine if you ask me

94.3 is Slam FM

NRG came back with audio mid afternoon yesterday,

The Reggae music station on 87.6 was on the air Friday/Saturday/Sunday - audio is poor

Still no sign of Energy 1386AM

First enchancements of 2014 in the south west for anyone reading the thread.

BBC Radio 1 on 97.7 made a nice change from RedFM on the way home today

Rock Solid

Tonik have a nice more powerfull carrier on today, must be a better site, they have been testing a low signal last few weeks

Antenna

A church transmitter I discovered recently on my travels:

Doon in east Co. Limerick on 105.1

there's also one in nearby Kilteely on 106.5
In that general area I also got a weak unidentified church on 108.0 - which I think is from over the border in Co. Tipp

Rock Solid

They are probally using cheap Chinese low power Transmitters, the church in Tramore 105.1 uses one and a diapole on the side of the church, due to the height of the church the signal is great, its better than TCR Tramore Community Radio 92.3 who are just down the road and dont seem to have a great site, its rather difficult to hear them in Tramore.

Anyone know the frequency of this in Dun Laoghaire and how far from the grounds would it be receiveable? :

Power FM has appeared on 92.1 in Dublin - good signal, possibly the station that was testing on 94.3 with rds Testing1

No stations on air this morning.....Phever/NRG/Base/Tonic all missing

ComReg were over due a cull, and the airwaves were getting very active of late.

Base posted this message on the FB page yesterday...

"Just to let all you guys know we are of air due to technical difficulties. Our engineer has given us a time frame of 7 days it is a very delicate situation we shall be back bigger louder and harder. In the meantime you can catch us live on the tunein app at basefm Dublin or live on internet radio at basefm. Cheers for your patience."

JDxtra

The lads at BaseFM could use this as an opportunity to correct the name of the station:

Base:
the bottom part of an object, on which it rests, or the lowest part of something.
e.g. A crystal glass with a heavy base

Bass:
the set of low musical sounds on a radio, music system, etc.
e.g. Turn down the bass.

Galaxy and the station testing on 92.1 were both on air today.

regarding the comments on power,NRG would be considered high power for a pirate station while Easy is more low power, based on power levels in the City Centre and South West Dublin

Around Dublin 16 tonight, 92.1 displayed an RDS of Power 92 with a very good reception. Up until that station appeared recently, it was possible to hear Kildare's Galaxy 922 (RDS display) on 92.2 around the Dundrum area - what kind of power did they have??

The heavies are in the SW Dublin area it would appear. Expecting another hit or two today, methinks.
