Freedom FM

It looks like Freedom FM will be on its third temporary license run at the end of this month.

I wonder will 8Radio.com's Simon Maher be on again with a rock show like last year.

Stumbled across this on the Xmas FM frequency in Waterford. Nice to see a 99s/00s station meaning I won't be channel hopping across the usual dross on offer for my work commute in the month of October.

I've got the tape deck out and ready for tonight. The big questions is which sort of a blank tape will be unwrapped; regular or Chrome. Decisions decisions.

I'll stick it in and press the red button at 11:25PM. Cos like, you never know what sort of sneaky connivance those lads and lassies would "Power" up....

Would be nice if these Temp stations could expand to the North West (Donegal) in future just like Xmas Fm on 105.7

Some small interference in Waterford City due to weak C103 signal on 103.7 (Freedom on 103.8)

103.7 (when nothing on 103.8) gets in relatively well in areas of waterford city with line-of-sight with the mountain range approx 20 miles to the west in its direction (so too would 96.1, if nearby 96.0 relay for KCLR did not exist). You might think a over 2000 ft high mountain would block the signal, and it would do so in places close to the foot of it, but some VHF bending over the mountain-top does occur and approx 20 miles to the other side is probably more or less an ideal distance back to receive it. Draw a straight line on a map and its a line-of-sight path from transmitter to the mountain top (so a strong signal hits the mountaintop).
