Since when? They still online

I can only tell that there is a blank mono carrier on 104.2 since Tuesday afternoon - Lightning damage apparently

Spirit 90.1 is Bray, 92.2 is indeed Saggart, 107.2 Newstalk should be Mt Leinster and 107.6 Newstalk is Saggart

Not sure where 105.8 is but I could get it up the Dublin Mtns too

Any chance the BBC frequencies are Kilkeel rather than Brougher Mtn?

I don't think so - a bit too much rock in the way (plus 99.0 has stereo and RDS) Kilkeel doesn't

According to fb storm temporarily broadcast to dundalk on 107.9 now back to normal on 104.2. Big up the storm crew wish we had something similar

Mix 107 FM now on 107.9 FM in Dublin. Playing ‘90s dance when I was listening.

relay of Absolute 70s

Whats the music format on mix107

Newstalk coming in on 107.9 this afternoon.

Hearing nothing on 99.5
Rince's signal seems to be stronger on 88.1.

Ronan Raver77

Phever blasting out..Could hear them clearly enough to the Naas exit on the N7..audio was dropping off towards the N9 exit off the N7 but the only Dublin pirate heard out that way.

Anyone know the source of Newstalk 107.9 in north Dublin area?

i can't find any mention of it by anything to do with newstalk so god knows what it is . maybe it's another "relay" that is suddenly needed years after the station launched dispite the fact that coverage issues could have been solved ages ago just like a couple of other stations in dublin? but then again if it was surely they're would be mention of it on their site or somewhere official that is accessable?

Funny it happened within days of a pirate appearing on the same frequency. Unless it is the pirate operator relaying Newstalk? Possible, but unlikely.

It has full RDS and everything. The only time it came in at full strength on my radio today was at the M50/M1 Interchange, any chance it's a relay for Balbriggan?

Its on Clermont Carn - signal is 15db down on the RTE stuff on the same site which would indicate it's around 1kW ERP

If I'm not mistaken, that sounds like Tracey Lee doing the voiceovers which were added to Rince Radio on 88.1 (formerly of Sunset & Today FM and more recently appeared on Non-Stop Nineties).

Here's a recording...

One less frequency available for the the pirates.

i see. do you know the reason for this new transmitter?

FrostyJim wrote: »

indeed but 107.9 isn't the best frequency anyway and hadn't been used for years.

Afraid not, but I got confirmation today that its been live for a couple of weeks

There's a Newstalk TX on 107.0 in Dundalk. This is surely now surplus to requirements?

i don't know, but even if it was it's unlikely it would be turned off?

Would've thought having a relay for an area wholly covered by another TX wouldn't really scream efficiency. The relay is basically at the foot of a mountain carrying the main TX!
