Stream is now up.

http://142.4.215.64:8116/listen.pls?sid=1

different test transmission today, and signal seems better for me too

Only 3 days till the start on Sunday and it's on tunein now also

Reception repot please! Low power 1.0 swr just testing...

It's quite good in Windsor Great Park are you saying that it is going to have more powerful transmissions when it starts properly?

Loud N clear in Walthamstow! Much better than a few days ago!

I listen to the stream, but audio volume is very low and sounding very bad.

Give them a chance only came on tunein today and it's still only a test transmission I am sure it will be set up properly from the start of programmes next

55dB on small portable radio at Clapham Junction up on platform 1, very strong.
30dB near Wembley stadium on ground level.

That looks like it should work a lot better (vertically) and it sounds to me like it is. And loving those high power Dipoles....

Sound distorted at the moment on the stream. Don't know if that's also on FM

Yeah, I've had to turn up the gain on my media player. FM is fine.

I am getting it about 28-30dbs on my tuner (which is exactly the same as the aerial setup before) in Bromley. I am just wondering how the selection of the aerial works with a community station? I was under the impression that ofcom would specify what type of aerial should be selected? Seems you have a bit of flexibility (no pun intended)

Had a listen last night, some house tunes where on and it sounded pretty decent to be fair

Anyone confirm the output power ?

200w ERP

I'd fancy a tweak with that stack spacing - looks a little on the large side with energy going up rather than out

50 watts and the spacing is a full wave with a 1.0 swr!

That's the same as lgr and I think the 96.9 former choice fm crystal palace is only 50 also

Now getting stereo and RDS on my pocket radio indoors if I point towards the south west. Still sounds better on FM than online where they need to turn the gain up.

They're going live tomorrow from 12 noon.

They need some compression/processing on their stream. It sound too flat and distorted sometimes. Take Point Blank as an example for that.
