At the moment Origin are reaching me the best out of everything from London but the signal's not great down on the south coast.
The next best down to me is Cyndicut from Essex but it covers London right the way through Surrey in to north east Hampshire.

It was Raw strongest here until a couple of weeks ago and they would come in crystal clear sometimes.
I'll still go for Raw for my choice as it was reaching deep beyond the London outskirts all the way around, deep out of the M25 in all directions.
....Crystal 104.3 was another signal reaching well to me until it went off a couple of months or so back.

Sorry yeah I only put True Flava's because I was getting it clear near Cambridge the other day and they're Essex or even Kent based so I've heard, but I can't get it around here in Northolt or when I'm at home in Watford at all!
Delete True Flava's if you want!!!

I was driving all around west London and then deep into East London and Select were the only station who seemed to be able to survive my whole journey. I found Raw to be quite crackly driving around central and deep east London but Select were Locking most of the time even in the more built-up areas when I was a bit further out.
But saying that I was in a little village called Wrecklesham near Farnham and Raw were still banging but Select had bad interference from Radio 1, probably a relay around there or something.

Going by that from West London and seeing as where Live are actually coming from then its Live, to get 33db in Greenford in pretty impressive.

I was wondering how you heard live in Greenford? Much to close to Hayes and Hayes fm do play house sometimes so easy to mistake the 2 stations

I drive thru town everyday (central London) and on my radio anyway it's Vision, Live and Concious that steam in wherever I go.... that 90.6 is quite poor in town, I'm sure it's whacking out elsewhere but as for biggest signal in "London" ... not so sure...

I bet though the only station that would get round the whole of the m25 crystal would be Cyndicut thats some ridiculous signal maybe Raw aswell although Iv never tried then NE of the m25 in Essex.

Radio 3 on 90.7 would badly affect it around south and west M25, depends how good your radio is.
