87.8 UNID

Post by zach_dx » Sat Sep 16, 2017 9:29 am

I am getting this station for a couple of weeks now (or maybe longer?). I have no idea what is it. It play sort of soul music, dance music??? A mix of everything TBH. I am getting a weak signal though. It's not a Hazard FM. I managed to get PI code only.

It's constant music? No DJ?? No clue what it could be. Any ideas??? PI reveal it's not a commercial station.

I've clocked this recently too, very weak in SE London... other week I heard a guy just talking over a track... literally talking over the entire song, it was as if he didn't know there was a song playing! - also heard (I think) what appears to be a US station being relayed on it

Double 0 soul?

I've heard him use Herbie Hancock Chameleon as a bed...



Talks all the way through it, traffic reports and all sorts.

He also plays US station stuff sometimes.

Yes, I do recall American commercials being relayed. It's weird though. I was confused about it. At first I thought it's Irish RTE Radio 1 from Clermont Carn coming via tropo scatter, but conditions are rather flat recently. Thanks @famefm for ID.

I think it's a relatively new station. I didn't heard anything on this frequency since March this year??? The signal is very weak (at my QTH) or rather coming via scatter. I keep an eye on this one until I get better reception. Thanks guys.

Hi guys,

Recorded this one today on 87.8 after a long lasting American ads. I think there is an ID in the recording. The DJ is saying Radio 1, but before that there is a s short jingle 96 GM something??? I don't understand. Maybe somebody will help???

It's fusion fm relaying some American soul radio shows not a very good station I think I would rather have in house radio back on than this mish mash station?
