    That would be Energy 103 Ratoath. Never actually heard it myself, probably quite low power.

    Very bleak in Dublin. Hot FM the only one with widespread coverage.

    On air about 15 years now, About 100 watts from Ratoath, they seem to have done work on there aerial system lately it’s getting out better, The 103.0 is quite cluttered with Eastcoast on 102.9 & The FM 104 relay on 103.1 in north Dublin

    I would say I only heard about Energy on 103.0 in the last two or three years! So it can be picked up around the west of the City and, presumably, the area of Meath close to Rathoath as well. Where else?

    You’d never get Energy in west Dublin a few weeks ago that’s why i reckon they have worked on the aerial system or got a new transmitter, Well worth a listen they play all oldies with the old Energy 103 jingles, it’s a pity their not online.

    I assumed it was a dance station! Of course, if they came in strong in Dublin, they would be a bit too close for comfort to Dublin City FM on 103.2.

    No never a dance station, Always a low powered station playing oldies 24 hours a day from the 60s, 70s, 80s & the odd 90s

    A bit confusing being called Energy then, even if it is from Rathoath, as Energy Power AM is also oldies-based!

    Their aerial system was rebuild after storm damage iirc.
    The signal is improved in West Dublin now - it was receivable in the past - see previous postings - but not as clear.

    Continuous music on 99.5 - good signal with some processing

    Nothing on 99.5 for me currently, although there was something testing/tweaking on it earlier this afternoon.

    Not doing a bandscan this evening, but very occasionally they have on a random evening. But, even if they were on, the relay/stream, most recently on 99.5, has only ever been on weekends as far as I know. That's one of the reasons I am curious about who is on 99.5. What kind of music is it playing?

    They have mentioned plans to stream but nothing yet unfortunately - they also include hits that would have been very popular on the original Energy.

    Energy AM is now on 99.5 FM as opposed to continuous music - testing streams ??

    I heard Energy Power AM a short while ago on 1395 kh MW and 99.5 FM. It looks like that is what was on last night on 99.5 FM. I would imagine 1395 was on as well, if 99.5 is a stream of 1395kh: pity I could not check!

    To the best of my knowledge, the stream on FM has not been on outside of Saturday/Sunday before....but I could be wrong!

    The gap between the Energy AM output and FM output has been eliminated there used to be a considerable delay
