well it was mainly a southern affair

Tropo 15.09.19 0914 88.60 G UNID Blank Carrier S England? 0 0 fading in forgotten pirate tx?

Could be the North London pirate Back2Back FM on 88.60, sometimes they just have a carrier running on Sunday mornings - only a guess mind you.

Extra AM on 1332 will be good, we had the religious station Premier Christian Radio on 1332 serving central London, but it looks like the transmitter has been switched off... it was crazy having 5 transmitters carrying the same programme just to serve London. I often listen on 1395, Radio Seabreeze ...

It's still hot, hot, hot here in London, my radio shack thermometer is still reading 30°C here at 23:55.

"Andy, I don't know what the station is that you are receiving but it's not RAW 87.5 from London" "I'm not saying it's not Rawinnocence that Andy is receiving" confused.com of N London......... Raw Innocence is being reported on 87.5 on the pirate boards - seems to be getting out well. You may have...

It is Raw Innocence 87.5 https://www.rawinnocenceuk.com/ I'm not saying it's not Rawinnocence that Andy is receiving - all I am saying is that here in N London the station on 87.5 is Live FM UK according to the RDS. The audio on the station that I am getting is not the same as your link, also it's ...

Wonder if Eagle FM or Mercury 96.6 will give it any trouble? I am line of sight to Greenwich and here in North London Maritime Radio (Greenwich) on 96.5, is sandwiched between Eagle (Guildford) on 96.4 and Heart (Pimlico St Albans/Watford) on 96.6 (Mercury does not exist it is now Heart) - Eagle by...

Another station to look out for during lift conditions. A new community station called Maritime Radio is testing here in London on 96.5, well with a name like that it could only be located in Greenwich, it is due on air Saturday 20th April 2019. It's playing some good music - and with the increasing...

Just checked 1431 on the Twenty SDR and the jamming is much stronger than I get it .. http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/

Edit 00.00 LT: It's strong on the Sardinia SDR.. http://sibamanna.duckdns.org:8073/

Thanks for the replies, it looks like the skip is short tonight so I am getting Smooth from Essex at s9 and no sign of the jammer.

I was hoping that it was from China or Korea which would have been a first for me given my noise level - ah well maybe one day.

It's not often that I hear much in the way of DX on MW due to my local noise level, but here in London we have had a lot of rain tonight, so it's quietened my noise level somewhat. I'm hearing some jamming on 1431 kHz but I don't know who is jamming who. It takes me back to the 1970's when the Briti...

Many radios from China are badged under different names, the one that you listed doesn't get much of a rating on eham.net >> https://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/6430

Take a look at the reviews and ratings for General coverage receivers before you decide >> https://www.eham.net/reviews/products/8

You think you have problems!!! Listen to this short recording of my interference on MW, the noise level is s9+20dB and you can hear the difference when I switch the aerial in and out. At the end of the recording is BBC 3CR on 630 and it is s9+30dB, but it's only 10dB above my noise level. I'd give m...

I don't know much about it other than it's a digital data system that is becoming a pain in the arse across the Short wave bands. It's like that packet radio crap that used to infest 2 Meters back in the 80's and 90's - here are some recordings and a short explanation >> https://www.sigidwiki.com/wi...

I noticed that in the last few days, the crap is even encroaching into the 80 Meter Amateur Band on 3.553.8, it's also in the American part of 80 Meters on 3.805, 3.893 and 3.965.
It's spreading like a cancer across the Short wave bands.

Just got a positive ID here in London - not great reception but it got over my local noise level >> https://we.tl/t-M1h7bkfcOb

Received on my AirSpy HF+ SDR with a short whip antenna connected to a 9:1 Balun.

There's a station listed on 96.4 called Surprise Radio (Nigerian) - which must be it (if its still there?). regarding the sprog on 144.750. Is (or was) it consistently exactly centered on that frequency? or does it drift? Is it a third harmonic of a Band I STL link ?? which would be 48.25 Mhz (just...

The Rock is a pain in the arse here on 87.8 as it's an end stop signal, OFCOM take them off and they just keep coming back. There are also carriers just left on for months, Rude FM have been off the air for ages but they still keep a carrier running on 88.2. The same goes for S-Dance on 96.1 and Meg...

Always avoid 6215 and 6312. It ain't rocket science...

I know that OFCOM or as it was The DTI at the time didn't need much of an excuse to have a go at Caroline or Laser, but Caroline's use of 6215 was grist for the mill for The DTI to take action against the Ross in 1989.

Sorry to hear the news about Bogusman, but that will get you raided by OFCOM. I would have thought that just about every free radio operator knew that you steer clear of that frequency - there used to be a list of frequencies to avoid between 6.2-7 MHz. He had a good run for his money as he has been...

Someone else commented about this on Radio Today - I had to laugh at the reply from Absolute Radio.
