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.

Anybody hear a carrier on 99.4 fm today?

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.

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.
Regards

I'm just curious but have Energy been on Short Wave before?

marno21 · 23-11-2018 9:06pm

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)
104.9 NRG Cork
107.0 Caroline

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.

Is that a relatively new pirate? Is it automated?

I think the same op is on SW as Radio Sovereign. He can be heard occasionally on 6318 (I think) Khz.

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.

TallGlass · 25-11-2018 12:39am

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.

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

Only been on for a few weeks - no processing on the audio - automated but a good selection of music.

Today (Sunday) Easy on a blank carrier and Retros audio sounding a bit rough.
BBC Radio 1 coming in strong on 98.9 wiping Absolutes 80 - no Christmas FM carriers on yet in this neck of the woods (Dublin)

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.
