Storm is still on 104.2 I think, I’m guessing he’s talking about an MW station that relays various streams that was on 1494

dxhound2005 · 21-11-2018 8:00pm

Now on 1611 kHz having also been on 1616 for a while. Very faint signal on the SDR in Carlow. Mostly oldies music, with some pirate recordings, same as was on 1494 and 6318. One programme is the closedown recordings from 1988.

Probably testing for Christmas FM - carriers and audio will start appearing over the next few days.

HOT FM now have RDS restored on 91.0 with live daytime programming.
Now FM sounding good on 91.6, Easy with imho much improved audio on 93.2 and the Cube now with regular evening time programming on 101.2 - good selection of 80s music (a station that knows their music ).

Yes have to agree very nice audio on 93.2 fm a lovely music too.

Oscarziggy · 23-11-2018 5:53pm

Very good usable signal on the West Wales coast on 1395khz this afternoon while driving .
Even stronger than Manx Radio on1368 khz which we know to be on reduced power for mast repairs.
It was daylight when I listened so 1368 could have been on 600w instead of the 2.5kw at the week ends --- don't want to fry the guys working on the masts.

Christmas FM on air now in Clare on 105.2. No audio yet

RDS XMAS radio text reads "Johnny Logan - Hold Me Now"

23-11-2018 10:22pm

Christmas FM is going to appear on the FM dial in Sligo on 95.0 for the first time. How strong is their signal usually, will it reach the whole county or just centred on the main county town?

Yes. They were relayed on 6.9 Mhz a few months ago. Low power I believe but they received a number of reports.

radioguru02 · 24-11-2018 11:06am

Cork:
87.5 Power
87.8 True (no RDS)

SATNAV · 24-11-2018 3:11pm

I see Energy are being relayed on pirate .ie and SW this weekend, they seem to have changed their music format with a lot more 80s .
Sounding good in Town today .

Infoanon · 24-11-2018 9:44pm

Oldies station that was on 96.0 has moved to 95.9 in Dublin.

No IDS , no RDS and in mono

Audio is ok , primarily 60s with a few 70s and the odd 80s

Lower power so obliterated by LMFM in many areas.

The SW relay was only on on Friday evening although it may return on Sunday on a different band, or so I am told

It was still on Pirate.ie earlier when I checked.

Is FK just trolling us all on here? Seriously.

I went onto the website, there is actually a special number to contact FK on, in studio 2.

He has to be trolling us all.

Those are recordings of Radio Sovereign which was a UK pirate from the past. This station has a lot of old pirate material. Over the last few days it has been on 1611, 1614, 1616 and 1494. Faint but clear signal on the SDR in Carlow at midnight 25 Nov on 1615 kHz. When it is not on medium wave it has been on 6318.

http://emeraldsdr.ddns.net:8073/

Super strong signal in Dundalk, but obviously very low power.

I think that is a different station.

Energy on 3945 and 7705 Khz today for those that have a SW radio. 3945 should be receivable in most of Ireland.

agreed, it has been suggested here before not to be naming operators behind current pirates for obvious reasons.
does fresh have any plans for live programing in the future or will it continue to relay danceoneradio?

Energy is a good signal on 3945, nothing heard on 7705. 1395 is a couple of minutes ahead of 3945.

The Dundalk station is on 6318 today. The station never identifies itself. When not playing oldies it runs recordings of pirates from the past.

Hot FM has a massive success for over 20 years in Dublin with a famous recognised name, following and listenership.

Hot FM attracts a listenership that is of the younger market from children to adults around 40 years old.

With over 1000 online in Ireland & overseas listeners at any time and even more listening on the radio 91.0 FM. Listen online here I actually laughed at this he is actually lieing
that on the web site

Phever must be on a very poor site for broadcasting into Dublin also frequency not great either

depending on which side of the city your in,

radioguru02 · 29-11-2018 10:28pm

The Cube came on 101.2 in Dublin later
Flirt FM 106.6 Laois has been on a blank carrier last few weeks.

Infoanon · 02-12-2018 6:14pm

odd goings on in Dublin on 96.0 :

The 'oldies' station is back on 96.0 (was 95.9) but is being jammed by a blank carrier....

The CUBE now has scrolling RDS - THE CUBE DUBLIN - audio a little bit too bassy for my liking but overall good.

Chill/HOT/NOW/RETRO/Easy/The CUBE/Trax all on air today with Energy on AM as well.

Around Dundrum and Ballinteer today, this is what I got:
91.0 - Hot FM - loud and clear
91.6 - Now - RDS, blank carrier - it's been that way (when I check) for a couple of weeks
92.0 - Retro FM - RDS, blank carrier - it's been that way for months.
94.3 - Phever - RDS, blank carrier - it's been that way for months.
101.2 - The Cube - RDS, blank carrier - it's been that way ever since I checked it on that frequency.

1395am - Energy - good clear reception

I could not pick up Chill, but then again I never can around these parts. I also did not pick up Easy or Trax or that oldies station. I did pick up Easy and Trax, both with music, between Ballinteer and Nutgrove during the weekend though.

JDxtra · 02-12-2018 10:21pm

Phever has been very stable of late and Now FM hasn't been too bad - maybe you were just unlucky to get them on blank carriers?

The "normal" locations for a lot of stations targeting Dublin means it's difficult to get around to Dundrum and further south - which is why you have issues getting a lot of stations out that way.

For me, the The Cube signal is not great (is it also over modulated?). But that's probably just the signal not stretching out to my direction.

I think you need to drive to some other part of Dublin your location must be very poor for picking up radio signals because all the stations you mentioned are heard in most parts of Dublin. Let that be said some of the stations music leaves a lot to be desired.

JDxtra · 03-12-2018 9:01pm

Strong carrier on 101.2 with a rotating RDS programme service: "THE CUBE" -> "DUBLIN".

Based on past history, rotating the RDS name like that should be strictly avoided. If it was OK to do it, Classic Hits would have done it when they re-branded.
