Getting them 50-60db here on the Sony albeit with LBC cutting right in. Hard to say if thats the real db reading as LBC so close might be picking up RF energy from them too lol

Will be interesting to see if they start playing something, just wondering if its the last mob that was on there (southside). I tracked them to block the last time and while outside tried tuning to LBC, it didn't appear to be cutting into LBC in any way. Think they lasted about three weeks then it dissapeared :whistle

It's weird because no one else has mentioned it, are you 200% sure it's not just your radio picking up 99.3?

He might be actually, I remember when I was around someone's house on Streatham hill and Crystal palace was sprogging all over the gaff.

It's a fair question ! - and yes I'm 200% it's not just 993 bleed - 991, Select with RDS this morning around South East London / Elephant & Castle area.... it's not strong at all which is why I think it must be an outer-London relay

I can get Select strong on 99.3fm but on 99.1fm I can hear Radio 1 playing in the back ground.

I can confirm Select are not using another transmitter on 99.1. Somebody is on a wind up

Getting B2B now in south suburbs, playing some really old stuff and has RDS. Signal is awful but can hear them...

That faint signal I can hear on 99.1 is definetely kiss, it matches what they are playing on 100. No idea why I get them there

How far away are you from the Kiss FM transmitter, line of sight?

Had a look on the map, just over 4 miles... its wierd cos if I change over to my other tuner (pioneer) with same aerial, I get a faint Radio 1 on 99.1 lol Maybe the Sony has poor rejection/screening inside..

It's the tuner you are using picking up all the images etc from the local masts, I was actually going to suggest trying a different tuner.
