Picking it up in Windsor Great Park for the first time in about 2 and half years they must have turned up the power or moved because before they could only get out about 5 miles from thier site

I no longer hear them, so they must have moved.

I picked B2B up in Ascot Saturday signal flying. Wax FM and Playback were also reaching there too. Seem to remember everyone coating off 105.6 as a useless frequency but Playback get out well on it

Intreastin b2b getting that far? They must have moved as for wax I have had that as far away as Henley playback gets out very well and it's not useless on 105.6 I think it just that it's considered to close to tragic fm and absolute crap fm and I would not be suprised if a certain station moves to 106.0 if it's true that a legal will be given 106.5 106.0 also works if set up properly

105.6 gets out well, Ive picked them up far out when others cant be picked up. Problem is when you live local to the site, if you try and listen on a standard hifi tuner (even with narrow IF selected) you can hear the legals bleeding over them.

On a radionecks style tuner like the XDR, they are crystal clear with full RDS and sound good.

Yes playback is not my favourite but I can get crystal clear stereo in my area especially since the other station that was also on 105.6 lips fm thankfully left the airwaves
