Does anyone know what area this is broadcasting to?
....I've just been up a hill 5 miles north of Worthing called Chanctonbury Ring, I was able to record this video just before it started to heavily over-mod and became unlistenable. (or should I say even more unlistenable - the music not my cuppa tea!)
I expect it's either north or north east of here, probably some old-boy anorak with a Chinese rig, certainly not local though..

It's not a Chinese rig (AFAIK). It's from the Midlands. It probably wasn't over modulated, it was probably multipath distortion

Are you sure it's as far away as that? I don't really get Sutton Coldfield's 250kW stations all that well up there and it's one hell of a trek.
....I was listening for about half an hour moving into many different places around the top of the hill but the audio just got louder and louder and at one stage it was so loud it was blasting their signal off the dial.
Might try and get back up there again next week and see what I can get.
