Heh,heh. Yeah I noticed that too.

I 'spose now 103.6 and 106.8 are used or allocated for community radio, it's not just pirates that are short of clear frequencies.

Having said that, you'd think Ofcom could do something better than that. If I'd paid out £X grand for an RSL I'd be pretty pissed off...

[Dave]

And, Dudley Mosque is Line Of Site from Walsall's TX site. hahahah

To be honest, I'm urprised they didnt allocate 95.1 to one of em.

Whats going on 106.8?

[Gary Edwards]

I think it's SACDA Radio (Sandwell, West Midlands).

It was awarded the same time as Ambur.

well youd know all about walsall dave. am you gona be the first to admitt we stuck all the rsl gear in for walsall last year,and while we was flying aerils up they was having a big fry up down stairs or is it guna be me?im shure you got photo,s! 106.8 is definatley going to be used for sacda.ill keep you all posted however ive heard stuff on there too night time radio in the small hours ov night coming from a bedroom near you!

[Dave]

Ha, yeah - that Saturday was funny.... Fucking worst studio you've ever seen, and a lot of eating going on considering it was Ramadan and daylight.

I dunno if we did a good job or not, seeing as we didnt have it on in the car on the way back!

[johnnyb]

eh they was too busy to notice the radio off!all that scoffing!look so long as they heard the front end ov the rig working in the studio it was gud for us and every one off here listioning!no one said we goto hear it only set it up i just love a bit of disruption!

[Dave]

Mono mixer... Would they let me turn the stereo encoder off? nahhhh....

[Steve Marshall]

No guesses which one wins here ......

Dead stereo carrier although sounds like they have some noise on their link, not as bad as the one year though where they had a hiss coming out of the one channel

Still RDS just says Dudley, no sign of anything else

What a stupid bit of planning and why can't they use 87.6????

It will be a nice mess in Willenhall etc, although the Dudley one will win hands down me thinks

[Dave]

Win for Dudley here, 16dB, Stereo, cant see the RDS. Audio seems okay, musics not really to my taste

Not a sign of Walsall.

Maybe the gaffa tape holding the aerial has failed
