Strange station on 87.7 relaying Fox News Network USA

[teckniqs]

A few weeks ago I was up on reasonably good ground facing north towards London from Steyning West Sussex near the coast and was receiving something on 87.7 which appeared to be relaying Fox News.
Anyone else heard this or have any ideas what kind of area this was coming from?

No idea, I only heard it brielfly when parked up in this great little DX spot facing London shielded by the taller hills around it here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/50%C2 ... -0.3359227

I remember visiting a guy to collect some rack-mount boxes I had won on fleaBay and as I got closer to the house where I was collecting them, I was getting BBC Radio 4 on 87.5 in Stereo. When picking up the boxes I noted a wire antenna running around the property and was told that the guy was an amateur radio enthusiast (he gave me his callsign) and the antenna was for 4 and 6 MHz. As I left I stayed tuned-in and found that the 87.5 MHz signals was covering a good mile or so. I thought nothing more of it until some time afterwards when I googled the callsign and realised that the person I had met had connections with Radio Fax which was a short-wave pirate station of the 1980s. Now the 4 and 6 MHz antenna made sense! Perhaps something similar applies to your 87.7 MHz mystery!

If you get within about ½ mile of my house you'll hear a station on 87.7 in stereo - sometimes with RDS if I'm testing something. It's sometimes used to relay cricket commentary during test matches, and the nearby neighbours mostly know that it's there. There's a thin ⅞-wave vertical with ground planes on my roof, and just a couple of hundred milliwatts really travels, because there's usually nothing else on that frequency until you get to Belgium!
