I'm picking up Project weak in my bedroom now in Worthing and it's 43dB on the West London tuner! Definitely banging out now!

3 element beam on chimney facing London with Sony XDR-F1HD tuner. If it wasn't for the massive South Downs in the way I'd hear it a lot stronger!

It's very weak here but you get the idea, it's a long way away with a lot of obstructions.

It's all about that FM radio, if you had one with a 3 element chimney beam you would no doubt have it solid with RDS.
....I've got Bright FM solid with a full signal on 106.4 and Spirit FM on 106.6 almost as strong but this radio is so narrow and sensitive it can still hear what's inbetween.

They're still on, seems like a RF power or antenna issue because at the foot of their block they're crystal clear...100 yards away they're gone!

Seen that happen to another station this year, maybe the swr protection has kicked in and lowered the bias?

I was wondering that as well I would think they will be lucky if someone else doesn't nick 1065 in the near future

It is but it won't be permanent I would think it will be given to a new legal station within the next year and it would probably be yet another pop station and might be jack fm they are already in Oxford and another in reading and even before time closed they were interested in taking the slough /Windsor license but I hope they don't because their shit as well.no one interesting that we would like seems to have the money to afford the license
