I'm getting that here on the Sony XDR mate in the South East. Signal terrible, very weak and crackly and programming material sounds Nigerian/Ghanain. Can't understand the bloke, keeps swapping language between bad English and Nigerian! Also seems to think it's clever to say "we are broadcasting on a frequency modulation of 99.6fm!"... :rip :whistle

I got no chance to hear it from the west I just got a strong flex 997? I thought 996 was ragga fm but haven't heard it for a long time? Does ragga still exist on fm?

Does anybody know if ragga is still going? They had 996 and supreme had 998 long before 997 was flex but if ragga has finished then you are right stupid for something new to use it especially with venture on 995?

They certainly are. They sound like Nigerians and probably have a stolen rig. Their mod is all over the place and the signal is very patchy - strong in NE London, but with weird coverage in SE....

thats the thing all they have to do is find an engineer and pay him shit loads to set them up they prob had fuck all equipment bet the engineer is getting a lot of cash monthly from the nigerians. also what is going on, on the 99's its rammo !! 99.1, 99.3, 99.5, 99.6, 99.7 99.8 o and not forgetting Kiss 1 up from that. the 991 and select dial is fine but them 4 next to each other, thats crazy !!

Perhaps because they think hardly anyone cares because no legal station in London between 98.8 all the way to kiss 100?

I never thought I would say this but these days it only seems like the black stations sound fresh and enthusiastic these days? I haven't all of a sudden been converted to only liking their music, it's the djs they are still actually entertaining? As for the house music? There is some good stuff still about it just the boring djs complacent isn't the word? Probably why I like house fm the best probably because they got a lot of good professional djs mostly steaming shows through but it works?

Get them clear top of Crystal Palace hill along the road all the way down to the top of Lordship Lane Dulwich, then down the bottom of Lord Ship lane I lose them.
