Not heard 101.5 over this way.Will listen out on that frequency.Normally stations from Ireland come in 101.4.
Not heard anything on 105.0 for a while.Been a few stations on that freq this year.
Look forward to hearing Wk-End soon all being well.

It was on again, matched the audio to carousel 80s, this time RDS along with music and speech.
One ident said 101.4 and that went out on the web stream too, gone off now. I have my web SDR on now all the time so I can see when something new comes on the air. I must workout how to capture audio when i’m not about and log the times proper like

I don’t get Overdrive till I drive into Cheshire , this thread is for Manchester. But I know you have some people who have heard you but I really struggle and I wouldn’t say I’ve got bad car stereo , it is fairly strong once I get south of Appleton, I’ve never been able to get you at Manchester airport. No dis respect of course.
If Overdrive gets listeners from Manchester, and Wk-End gets reports from the thread I started, then I am entitled just as much as those who give reports on my thread about Wk-End, are entitled to use this thread to promote Radio Overdrive not being rude .

That was only 4 watts for 30 mins. Was just a test.
Just been told it’s kicking off in here. Can’t everyone just play nice. As for the content in this thread, the clue is in the title.
