What Kinds Of Radio Stations Do Ireland Get In Atmospheric Conditions?

Jonathan1990

I'm a huge radio fan and I made a video on YouTube where I am getting Irish radio stations over in North Yorkshire, England back in March. When this happens it's apparently called a lift for atmospheric conditions. I also get some Dutch stations like you'll see NPO Radio 2 stored in a preset if you decide to look at the video. It's only just over a minute long. I want to ask these questions.

1. What's the name of the transmitter I was receiving RTÉ 2FM 92.6 and Today FM 101.4 from?
2. Does it carry anything else I didn't get such as Newstalk?
3. What does Ireland get when lifts happen?

And here's the link to video...

Nice find. I don't think that 2FM broadcasts on 92.6 anywhere. The highest I know it goes is 92.2 and that's from Mullaghanish on the Cork/Kerry border. Today FM on 101.4 is from Mount Leinster in Carlow, this would be a high site at high power so I'm not surprised it got that far.

In Dublin (South)All the BBC stations from Wales (the NI transmitters can be heard on a decent car radio except where a station is broadcasting locally on the same frequency ).

Manx FM is also audible.

Also get a lot of Spanish stations - there a transmission site outside Barcelona that comes in strong across the south East of Ireland in lift conditions

I'm getting Classic Hits 4FM on 95.4 in the middle of Co. Waterford which is nice.
