London FM Pirates Scan

[famefm]

No 88.6 89.8 or 90.2?

[bravedaveyboy]

Nothing on those frequencies here in Bermondsey, maybe they're not covering my area very well?

[Twista UK]

I usually get most stations here in Hammersmith, maybe your aerials isn't very good or you are in a built up area or thick concrete building?

[bravedaveyboy]

Yes, my building affects reception. Saying that 23 pirates logged isn't too bad. As I live in South East London think maybe I don't get the ones which are based in West London. I also don't get the Turkish ones, I usually can't hear stations in North and East London very well so maybe that's the reason for that. The really strong signals here are coming from Whoa, Divine, On Top, S-Dance, Venture, Supreme, Concious, and Playback.

InFaRed sounding nicccce back on 105.1!

[Lee2310]

Wk-End been crystal for some time over here in West Wickham Kent side. Especially since frequency move from 99.7 to 106.5 . Why the name change fron Intent by the way?

Infrared - wicked station but not as clear most of the time unfortunately

UK bass - news kids on the block? Picking them up here too

Probably because intent is a rubbish name and Wk end is a much better name?

4Tune FM is now on 97.6. Strong signal here in Bermondsey SE1.

[bravedaveyboy]

Kharisma has shifted 100 kHz down the band to 87.7 and renamed itself Kurizma. The shift is presumably to end interference to Muzik on 87.9, and better align it between Muzik and Live on 87.5.

RDS shows: kurizma
Stereo

Fairly reasonable signal here in Bermondsey SE1.

[bravedaveyboy]

Kurizma has moved back to 87.8. It was definitely on 87.7 when I last scanned, but has now gone back to its previous home of 87.8.

[bravedaveyboy]

4Tune FM have moved from 97.6 to 103.8. Are Buzz still using that frequency?

[Lee2310]

Test

[Lee2310]

Kool back loud and clear on 94.6fm. Good to hear them on FM. Saw on their Facebook page that they are going off air for month in New year and relaunching under new management. Hope they keep up the same standards that we have all enjoyed over 30 years

[Lee2310]

So who has taken the 94.6Fm Slot them . Playing mixture . Definitely an end of an era if Kool have left the frequency for good !

Here's my scan from early this morning in the M25/M3/M23 area:

87.9 Musik (RDS:MUSIKFM)
88.4 Vision
89.4 Citylock
89.8 Station
90.6 [Turkish/Arabic]
91.6 Mega
92.4 USD
93.0 Unid [Slam or Freshsoundz]
93.8 Vibes
94.6 Kool
95.1 Divine
95.5 OnTop (RDS:OnTop FM)
96.1 S-Dance
98.1 Slamming Beats
99.3 Digital Soul
99.8 Supreme Live
102.0 Concious (RDS:102 FM)
103.8 4tune
106.5 [silent carrier]
108.0 Unid [could have been Devastation]

Things of interest:

• Musik (87.9) were relaying BBC World Service.

• The Unid on 90.6 was playing Turkish or Arabic style music. Couldn't get an ident as it was too weak.

• Similarly, the station on 93.0 was too weak for an ident, so could have been Slam or Freshsounds.

• The Unid on 108.0 could have been Devastation (Sussex) but when I've heard them before, their coverage was quite limited. This time it was solid for a long time. Maybe they have a new site, or just more power, or maybe it was a new south London station.
