They are in the River Blackwater just off Bradwell-on-Sea

Some distance to travel, their in skegness wonder if they know, recieved in horizontal pol

Think theres albatross on 87.6 too, read on another forum it was on bank hoilday monday, it might be worth listening out for, its same frequency most in car transmitters are set to so not the best.

I can hear Caroline on 648KHz in West Yorks, albeit only at night.

I can get 648 here durring the day in the backround the quailty is low on it, comes in better at night, they could use the old talk radio transmitters it would provide a good signal over the uk, don’t suppose it will ever happen. There is nothing there on mw during the day radio 4/caroline (in the backround) radio 4 transmitter on 693 not sure were it comes from the reception is lousy on it, radio 5 909, talk radio 1089 (both good signals), station related to sunrise lyca on 963 (in the backround) akash radio 1323 (a bit bettter than caroline) asian radio bradford 1413 there but quite weak, norfolk 873, playing oldies too, suprized to see a bbc local station still on mw, that makes 8 transmitters total couting the 3 from talk sport.

Do you not get radio North 846mw or radio star country 981mw.they maybe to weak from Ireland.

I listened for a while to but nothing heard on either of those frequencies, rte did used to come through on 567 during the day not sure how strong it was

Someone was relaying it 24/7 here in Suffolk on 107.5 for a few years up intil recently, but it seems to have vanished now. Weak signal though, was only covering Lakenheath village and immediate district.

Someone was relaying it here on 87.8, it only came in very weakly, suppose that might of been 10 years ago, years ago in early 2000’s I picked up one on 87.7, I get the feeling it was high power traveling long distance, though it could be some boarder station in ireland but who knows, they didn’t get clobbered by comreg back then. I last heard one pre 2020, think it may of been a community station east leeds fm that were kicking about, could of been unlicenced too.

I see that Caroline have applied to OFCOM for more power on 648 (10Kw)...

I don't know if i mentioned this when it happened.. Anyway about 5,6 or years ago i picked up a pretty strong signal on 100fm here in Sheffield and radio Caroline started playing.. Anyway after a few tunes the bloke said ' a big shout to the 100 fm crew out there! Who or where was this from? Crystal fkin clear it was!

The one I heard, which I think may of been east leeds fm, on 94.6 pre 2020 before I moved, I don't know if there might of been something there during lock down, it got abit confusing though I think read some were they had been given a licence or was it chapel fm (of course no relation to chapel roan lol) they never made it on air. They seemed to like having stations with chapel in them, suppose leeds is maybe alot like driving round south america on driver 2 or 3, were you get the noise of chapel. lol
