Any pirates in Greater Manchester area?

[oldthreads]

Hey Guys, Great forum, and I'm glad to have joined it. I used to operate in Rochdale, near Littleborough, on 99.7 back in the mid 90s for about a Year until we nearly got caught. Happy Days! It was IBC, 104.4 I think, and some other station that ignited the flame for me. Anyway, are there any pirates still operating around the Manchester/Cheshire area?

The only station left in Manchester is Irie 105.8, they have been going for years but only cover a small area due to the low TX site and poor choice of frequency. They're always on during the weekend and most weekday evenings.

Miss that Mixology 101.4 that I heard once last Summer -had a great 90s playlist and the Gary Vandalise DJ was shit hot.

I can't even hear that Irie effort on high ground within a few miles as it gets completely swamped by 105.9 over in Liverpool.

[teckniqs]

Irie only really covers their own areas like Old Trafford, Hulme, Moss Side, Whalley Range and Longsight. When I lived in Chorlton 105.9 used to interfere with them and that's only about 2 or so miles away from them.

i agree, decent station. completely gone now, website and all, shame. seem to be around for years on and off, so i suspect they will be back again sometime

First time doing a band scan in a long long time before on the way to the takeaway ha . Picked up Blitz on 100.7 crystal clear, no rds but dj was live.

Ha ha, I thought Blitz had given up.

On again last night , seem to just run for a few hours in the night and switch off. Probably running direct I'm guessing at. Still though hearing something on makes me feel that bug again lol

It does doesn't it... I couldn't possibly comment on how he's running
Haven't heard this in ages, but then again I haven't really been looking. Had a quick listen yesterday evening after I saw your post but nothing, probably too early. I'll try later tonight after nine.

[TekMcr]

Yeah nothing on the dial tonight, just checked in the car. Maybe try next Friday night. Their audio was nice and crisp, mic a touch loud but not ott. Mostly hiphop/rnb and oldskool dance I heard.

Haven't we all mate...

[MiXiN]

I'm sorry I missed this - I remember Blitz from back in the day. Good station.

Any plans on coming back on, or was it a flash in the pan like Mixology last year?

There's nothing whatsoever to listen to here in Greater Manchester these days.

It has been known....lol

[pirateaddict]

Lololol...love it..who were that? I imagine ya could get away with that for a while up ere...

[teckniqs]

Haha...Yeah it seemed to be the norm around Moss Side so I thought why not! Was only for one day though unlike a few others running every day with massive house stacks like that.
