Anyway it sounds terrible PULSE, Maybe due to the covid-19 movement restrictions they can't head up the mountain and fix. Also on a separate note Storm North East now 24-7 on fm while the lock down continues.

For the 3rd or 4th time pulse has been Skipping for more then 24 hrs to me it's all a waste of Electricity I think the two pulse and Pure are a jock and need to be switched off for good I believe not many and listening to them only the owner's them selfs as dance pirates come I believe club have it sorted they are Being very creative and sound tops .

Dipole Keith wrote: » I don’t get some pirates playing Covid 19 ads, I heard Storm playing a very long one the other day. I just turned off, Is it the cool thing? For many listeners the pirates are a get away from the legals that are doing them ads. That’s just me everyone has their opinion. It still won’t stop them getting raided at anytime.

You can be fairly sure that the listeners to Storm won't have already heard the adverts on RTE Radio 1. Fair play to them. Back in 1996 I remember Coast 105 FM observed the broadcast industry minute of silence for Veronica Guerin. It was done as an expression of respect for someone who paid the ultimate price for freedom of the press. If you can do some good on a human level, why not do it - pirate or not?

Dipole Keith wrote: » Not the one on Storm it had to be at least 3 minutes, If the pirates are going to run them Why not all of them and not just one or two, Why the same old ad every hour there’s a number of them they’ve been updated.
Infoanon wrote: » Dipole Keith you are very much mistaken. Pirates are providing a very beneficial service in carrying these public service announcements and hopefully all the stations will follow the lead taken by others.
Dipole Keith wrote: » Oh here we go the expert in everything to do with radio from transmitters, audio, signal, Formula one, bikes & now convid 19 ads, RTE & The local stations are doing this public service which is there job not the job of a few dance pirates.

How about you get off your high stool and contribute to the collective? Maybe some constructive criticism based on an achievement of your own, maybe a reasoned argument based on real-world exprience? No? Back to the high stool like a good chap. Change your name to Bipole Keith maybe?
