BANDSCAN THREAD

Has there been any pirate activity around Dublin since the 18th of January - medium wave or otherwise (FM or shortwave)?

"ABC 93FM" was on 93.3 FM early this afternoon. I wonder will there be a couple on around Dublin tomorrow.

Listed as Dublin City , the promoters of this station state its aimed at Lusk ,Rush etc

Funded by Fingal County Council Arts Department btw.......

ABC on again today with their country music afternoons.

Nothing heard on 94.3 ,which might be wise given the pending arrival of Hide FM..

Newstalk seem to have moved from 107.2 down to 107.1 in the last two weeks. Newstalk on 107.1 seem much stronger in West Dublin now, perhaps this is to keep pirates off 107.1 ?

When I was driving near Dundrum (Dublin) just before lunchtime, I happened to pick up a station on 108.0 FM playing dance music. It dropped in and out around Ballinteer. Any ideas about this? It would be interesting (and very surprising) if it was a new pirate.

was up the Dublin mountains earlier and heard ABC back on 93.3

105.7 was a well processed signal playing old school dance tunes with no ID; I’m putting this one down as the pirate that I’ve heard before in Wicklow Town (Rad105.7).

TogetherFM on 96.0 from Ballyfermot getting hammered by BBC on same frequency.

Very strong signal on 98.4 was playing Billy Joel; would guess that it’s Energy from Isle of Man but doesn’t suit their format (also no sign of it on their websites ‘just played’ section).

RX site was up near the Noel Lemass memorial around Glassamucky)

Anyone know what's going on with the temp transponder 105.5 signal in Limerick?

Someone started a thread in AH and I said I'd ask in here :)

Yeah, it would probably need to be about 5 mins long, to get a 5 sec segment at normal speed!

Anyway, transmissions have suddenly ended, so maybe someone spotted my post, maybe it was a coincidence :)

Now on air.......a freedom of information request on this expenditure would be interesting

Getting it in Drogheda too on 7C.

good conditions in South Dublin this morning. Holme Moss romping in and wiping out the usually reliable Q Radio on 101.1 as well as resolving RDS for BBC Radio 4 on 93.7.

Radio Manchester (also Holme Moss) very clear on 95.1 and Spin SW battling through the dirt and audible on 94.7. RX site was Rathfarnham Castle

Enhanced tropo conditions on the afternoon of the 7 April and Cork C103 was rock solid over here in Pembrokehire wiping out Nation radio - no loss there !

This was on a XHDATA D-8O8 with it's telescopic antenna enjoying the sun in the garden .Best signal was on 103.3mhz.

Nice station

was up in Sandyford earlier with a quick bandscan.

ABC 80s on 93.3.

Retro wasting no time nabbing 94.3 after HideFM finished their run (wonder how many bird watchers got a surprise)

Energy (from Meath?) on 103.0. Haven’t heard them for a number of years so wasn’t certain they were still going .. but they are! Barely audible but that 103.0 frequency isn’t the cleanest

Thanks @Antenna

Listening to Caroline on 648AM in Dublin earlier this afternoon,just about listenable .
