The best frequency dials??

[Undercover Neckz]

Which do you think are the best dials being used in London at the moment??

[FM King]

87.5

87.5 and 108.00

With all the current conjestion that's a very hard question to answer. As has been said 87.5 is definitely the best being clear everywhere in and around London (360 degrees).

I also think 90.0 is good it's just not being used properly by a very shit station so makes the dial look shit.

....96.1 is a very good London wide dial.

From a good TX site 100.3 is a good dial being 300khz away either side of the neighbouring stations.

90.0 is not that great you got BBC R2 has a high Wycombe relay on 90.0 fm so again only suitable for inner London

[famefm]

96.1 s dance is not a very good station? and 108 doesn't seem to be tolerated in London for long by Ofcom either, how many 108 stations have there been in London in the past 2 or 3 years?

That doesn't even reach London though does it? High Wycombe is quite far out and as far as I'm aware it's only a low powered relay for that area.

96.1 is a good station but I thought we were talking about the frequencies not on how good the stations on them are??

In the last 3 years I think there's probably been 3 or 4 stations on 108.0, but I'm not sure how that makes it a 'bad dial' being a obviously popular choice?? If you're TXing far enough away from Jackie then it shouldn't be an issue providing you're not over near Medway of course...

Jackie had to have a power increase but that was more for stations coming on 107.7 from east London with more powerful transmitters which seriously affected their coverage. I think it went from 100w to 800w so now it's the pirate stations more having to worry about that than Jackie worrying about them.

Do you think Raw radio only had big coverage like that 6 months ago because of the 87.5 frequency they are on? I think it probably is?

[FM King]

Yes

[famefm]

High Wycombe is less than 30 miles from London and the relay is easily heard up to about Heathrow Airport? and Jackie 1078 seems almost like a London wide station on 800 watt's seems to get miles out?

[teckniqs]

With a good enough signal on 90.0 the 50w from High Wycombe wouldn't affect it unlike this hidious Hot FM 90.0 occupying the frequency.

Jackie could certainly be considered London wide since the ERP increase plus Tolworth tower is a very good site with great views into London.

[teckniqs]

Also, I know someone who stuck a band 1 box midpoint up the High Wycombe mast and it took about 3 west London pirates STL's lol.

I all ways get everythink on 87.5 i think thats the best dial .
