    Energy Power AM on 1395khz has been a very strong usable signal in Pembrokeshire over the week end ,indoors as well as in the garden.
    Especially on the north coast at sea level.

    Hearing Charity radio on 1395 medium wave since earlier today, they're doing an all-day broadcast with 17 presenters through the day. Is this a record in Ireland?

    Hi behanator don't think this would be a record in Ireland as if memory serves me their where one or two stations in the past would have had up to around 40 djs in 4 hours live on air from same venue 90s years

    Is Galaxy FM a new Dublin pirate or is it coming from another county?

    Considering KIC 104.0 were raided for causing (allegedly ) interference to Shannonside on 104.1 , putting any kind of power on 104.1 may not be the cleverest move in the world.

    Shannonside TX Site 104.1
    I believe is in Longford
    I can't imagine them interfering with that
    K.I.C.K 104.0 running 2KW of power with 150FT Tower

    104.1 is 2.5kW from Slieve Bawn Mountain in Co. Roscommon.

    It's a ridiculously good site. It was receivable in parts of Kerry before 4FM came along in Limerick on 104.2.

    104.1 from Roscommon is receivable on the N7 heading out of Dublin so the reverse being true wouldn't be beyond imagination.

    Not any longer on N7 strong signal from Galaxy this time I can't imagine them causing interference
    To them storm north east operate just outside Drogheda on 104.2 no issues there
    K.I.C.K 104.0 at the time 2002 where pushing out big power
    From a very high Site with big Tower
    This is why they got into problems
    Comreg will always say the Pirates were interfering with other stations it's just what they do lol
    Think there was a video on RTE about K.I.C.K FM anyone got it

    My apologies, I thought you were saying the current signal was from the 150ft tower. My mistake.

    Looking back on the search thingy here, a station by the name of Galaxy were raided by COMREG about 6 years ago. Is this the same operation?

    Whatever about 99.1 being that 99.1 is for the Greystones area, 98.7 is the prime outlet for North Kildare. That won't go down well at all.

    Galaxy was easily reaching up as far as Kells and toward Mullingar today. No way will they last on air long at this rate.
