87.9FM needs to be moved at the end of February to April 2025 As Radio Ramadan is on in Wolverhampton on 87.8FM else youll be causing interference. We can't pick you up in Leicester. We have no Pirates in Leicester. WK-END be great to hear it in Leicester. Tower blocks in highfields be my first choice. One tower block has dab aerial on it.

P.S doing a fantastic job spreading out far and wide. Make sure your not over deviating which would be bleeding into other frequencies.

Forgot to say I could pick you up in Lutterworth and Rugby today south of Leicester just not in Leicester itself.

all I say is well done people in the background pushing this out
Thank you wk-end-Base


Not a secret bro I said in my post of 6th April..."Just to clear any confusion...Wk-End have took over the frequency from Base FM and it's DJ's and management are now part of the Wk-End family".

We came together long ago. Great to read your comment, glad your happy were back!

We came strong the first time now were stronger again than the first time. We couldn't come back until all things fell into place. Thanks for the patience and we hope you like the results 💙

Don't need to be moved mate as it's not getting Wolverhampton, Also we don't do over modding.
Other than that.. Thank you for your kind words Bandit.

I can assure you you're over deviating. I have been 50yards from your site and used an instrument which says your over deviating and its way over 75khz deviation also in London you're over devaition too. Dont worry i wont say where the rig sites are on here and I am not a grass because i feel you put a lot of work in to try get coverage in areas of the UK and takes alot of bottle to take over the airwaves as your doing and congrats at the management at wk-end for expanding your coverage. Be very sad that you get taken off for over deviating as Radio Silverstone is on 87.7FM.

Just because I have an instrument doesnt mean i am ofcom. I am a radio engineer for community radio stations in the midlands. You need test equipment to get things right. Can't assume anything by just listening to something.

In fact go to the London site first! Good luck with that.

I have no reason to go there. I have a lot on in my own life than worrying whether a station is over deviating or not. As i said keep up the good work. As a lot of people appreciate what you're doing. Big up WK-END.
