BANDSCAN THREAD

Jesus Dublin is badly stuck for frequencies.

87.7, 89.3, 91.5, 92.1, 93.7, 94.3, 95.9, 97.4, 98.9, 99.5, 101.1, 105.2, 107.4 & 107.8

89.3/91.5/93.7/98.9/101.1 are 0.2 away from the highest power transmitter in the Dublin area. 97.4/107.4 are 0.2 away from Saggart frequencies. 95.9 is 0.1 away from LMFM 95.8. Could be some questionable interference but there isn't really any alternatives.

Thanks - they won't travel far ! Just shows how many frequencies can be conjured up when required

As an aside very few temps do any testing - test days are counted as on air days and the bai take a very dim view of switching on outside the agreed dates

True, but some of these are likely low power - apart from the usual ones (94.3, 99.5, 105.2 & 107.8) they would not be suitable for city wide coverage.

The congress is on from August 22nd. They can use these frequencies from "mid-August" - which should allow them enough time for testing I guess. The event has high visibility though, so caution required!

Yes - all Dublin. Probably for some sort of low height broadcast across various venues is my guess. Should be fine as they don't have to travel far.

Is the Kiss FM on 101.2 the same one that was on 99.1?

Yes, it appears so.

Not the same operator as 101.4 There could be two Kiss Fm stations on 101.2 and 101.5

Isn't Q102 also on 101.5 in Balbriggan?

HOT was on air for a long time in their original incarnation with multiple TXs.
15 years since the big raids though to be accurate Frank Kennedy had sold the station before 'black Tuesday'. There was a short lived City FM that rose form the ashes iirc

Kiss FM on 101.2 in West Dublin, not sure if it’s the same one that was on 101.4

Kiss FM on 101.2 in West Dublin, not sure if it’s the same one that was on 101.4
Edit: apologies, did not see JDxtra’s earlier post about the station which basically matches this one

Was up the North last week and it was refreshing to see the TA feature still in use with Radio 1 switching over to 94.5 for traffic info

Are any stations in the south still using TA? RedFM and Live95 did but unsure if they still are

I'm out in Leixlip, 99.2 loud and clear. Wasn't aware of the Greystones relay. Cheers!

As soon as you clear the Dublin Mountains going west Mt Leinster booms in, across most of Meath and Kildare, and further west too. 102.0 Beat has huge coverage outside its area. I can receive it here in Kerry

I'm out in Leixlip, 99.2 loud and clear. Wasn't aware of the Greystones relay. Cheers!

That would likely be from RTE Lyric on 99.2. It comes from Mount Leinster at 200kW.

99.2 from Mount Leinster is 100kW. Given Mt Leinster's height and proximity to the UK it is restricted

Lyric on 99.1 in Drumcondra is from Greystones, 99.2 would struggle to make it through the mountians

Nothing on 88.1 or 94.3 in Drumcondra last night and just Lyric on 99.1
