    No its the listener stream, the other stream has zero listeners so presume that was used for the link

    In Dublin today, Chill FM on and sounding good on 87.6 and Fresh FM relaying 'Dance One Radio' on 99.4. Chill doesn't fully cover the city and is it's not a full time FM station, but it's a nice addition. Now FM on 88.1 as normal but there was no audio when I checked.

    On west side of the city cannot pick up Chill fm, Now fm carrier on but no audio,and 99.4 on with very poor signal and over modulated audio

    Chill FM can never be picked up around Dundrum or Ballinteer or further south-east. However, I have it picked up barely around Nutgrove in the past!

    99.4 is not over modulated ....if anything it's under modulated.

    Chills signal is primarily South West Dublin and is clearest in Tallaght, Lucan,Clondalkin etc

    In the current climate Now may be the next to switch off for maintenance. ..

    Today FM have appeared in Dublin on 97.3 FM

    Good signal across the South West - 97.3 is a Dublin City frequency.

    Official or unofficial relay ? ,audio is RTE managed sites standard ie not 101.8 !

    Confirmed - this is official and is used to cover a black spot around Stepaside/Kiltiernan.

    presumably that is the end of 97.3 being available for temps now?

    ticking a box on a form does not make you of a religion.

    Although in saying that, you can't get much closer to Three Rock - so quite how there is a blackspot there I don't know. I wonder where the site is and if this opens up the window for other operators to say they have blackspots as well.

    On Wednesday 13th March (two days ago), I was driving southbound on the M9 and I picked up Redrock (its RDS) around the general Carlow area. This was about 3pm or so and it was playing Irish Country & Western, if memory serves me right. I can't be sure about the frequency but it could have been 106.0. What I remember clearly though was that the signal was very strong. I picked it up a few miles later when I did a bandscan. It seems to have a decent range.

    Could be another pirate on 1476 kHz. Non stop Oldies, no announcements. Can be heard on the Carlow and Kilkenny SDRs, less well on a couple of receivers in England..

    Its not a pirate, 1476 is from central England, a station called 'Carillon Wellbeing Radio' from West Leicestershire which has appeared on that frequency in recent months. With nothing much else on that channel so has been heard by DXers over a large area at night.

    Yes, I posted that on a thread in the Hobby Radio forum. But the transmitter is listed as only 250 watts, and I have heard it very strong in Dundalk, and on the SDR's in Ireland. The 250 watts must be a mistake, but I don't see why they would use high power to cover their target area.

    As long as it's the one from Dublin he's moving then I'm happy. If he's looking to add a 2nd then I hope he gets raided quicker than he can say choonage.

    I have not heard Trax for a number of weeks now. What’s left on from the pirates I’m trying to understand without any joy all you will hear is those deplorable so called dance stations on and off no continuity no signal and audio quality,all leaves a lot to be desired. One station is a one man band with no understanding for broadcasting just sheer rubbish ( I’m referring to dance 1 fresh fm or San Francisco radio or what ever it’s called ) Hot fm well what can I say just muck muck and more muck sheer b......t. I will give NowFM a little credit a good signal and audio but sadly lack continuity with live jocks.

    Its listed as being 70W, not 19W. Also the actual transmitter would be running a few hundred watts output calculated to achieve 70 W radiated as the low height aerial they have would be 'inefficient'.

    Some pictures of an earlier, 'low cost' looking installation of this station Flame 1521kHz before they moved to a better location :
    http://www.conceptnews.org/flame/

    And across saltwater is a lot better than across land for those frequencies so it wouldn't be difficult to hear on the northeast coast of Ireland with seapath all the way to Liverpool area.
