i’ve not been hearing club asia just lately, think its passion radio on 89.6, thats the one that seems to come in well. (i hear it walking round with the radio in my pocket)

if everyone starts using 87 frequencies then things are going to get crowded, thought I don’t mind makes things more interesting. Had my own little transmitter down there haven’t heard a sauage coming over the top of it, except real radio, it must be on at different time.

Update! I heard a pirate on 88.1 today, the signal is fairly weak, have to mess about with my radio, not beable to walk around with my radio in my pocket, no useable signal, :) radio 2 seems to be more dominant station

not surprised if club asia got busted to be honest. All that advertising round Bradford, big vinyl 10ft posters all over, not the best way to 'stay under the authorities radar' in my opinion.
The massive signal they had won't have helped either!!

Of course i might be talking crap, they may just be on a break I guess

Sounds like the dial is pretty active around this area at the moment.

That would be me then! I was testing my transmitter out yesterday for an hour or so on 88.1. Where are you tuning in from?

cool :D , i’m just east of Leeds, not suprized you didn’t get into Leeds its surrounded by hills, theres a hill here between it makes all stations there fluttery. Where I lived before when I had my 4w nrg kits transmiiter, sure I heard it parts of Leeds south west is one of the only clear directions.

it is still on 88.5 I can hear it :mrgreen: if lick is driving around! :lol: no leisure batteries involved (or least that was 5 minutes ago when I had my little radio on)

I kept on until around 3pm - was driving round myself and the signal was overpowered by R2 when I head Leeds direction. If I go the opposite direction towards Manchester I go a hell of a lot further. Cheers for having a listen out for me. I've just tuned to 88.0 are you still on? I can't hear you near Ikea in birstall.

Cool thanks for the report man! I'm quite impressed with this little transmitter, seems like its doing the trick. Just need more height now!
