Re: 87.7 Sheffield
"No RSL listed" has been happening a lot on the Ofcom site over the last few years when a new RSL has popped up, so I wouldn't completely rule it out just yet....

Re: 87.7 Sheffield
Or8.. As mix fm says no rsl listed and as teckniqs said they aren't always listed.. I had a look at the com site and there's one that's due on, at the end of march or beginning of April but that's a long time to leave a tx on i woulda thought.. It is really quiet and i have to turn the volume up fully to be able to hear anything. There's no audio and i don't think it's connected to any electrical source.

Re: 87.7 Sheffield
Rumour has it that the first Ramadam Radio shutdown has already happened!
It's amazing: OFCOM actually doing their proper job for once - keeping the inflammatory rabble-rousing religious rubbish off the air if they're too extreme (as they mostly are!)

This finished after Ramadan, then went off a couple of weeks after. Then came back on two days later and is still on, blank and mono like it was before Ramadan. Very strong signal, does all three bars on my radio

Re: 87.7 Sheffield
I’ve got 87.7 blank carrier here as I’m driving near Ikea near Leeds. Also a station playing Bhangra versions of chart music on 87.9. Presenter is talking half in English, half a foreign language, his CD’s keep skipping so must be scratched haha very odd. 87.7 is quite a strong signal and 87.9 is absolutely booming out

Or8 Ionosphere.. The 87.9 is radio club Asia and it does boom out i must say. I think it's from leeds. Can receive it on 87.95, but not 87.9 coz of the blank carrier on 87.7..They used to be on 97.8 a few years ago. I think they use Dutch stuff too!

Re: 87.7 Sheffield
Yeah their signal was really strong and got stronger when I drove towards leeds, their RDS popped up when I was closer to leeds too so their TX site must be in the leeds area. 87.7 carrier wasn't on this evening when I was in the area thoughpirateaddict wrote: ↑Wed Aug 11, 2021 11:32 am Or8 Ionosphere..
