This dial is shit to use in Essex now with many stations Kiss 106.4 was coming in very clear for me.
Also got another one Sunlight on 106.6 , 106.8 is KMFM to. maybe they could use 107.0?

I used to get them in parts of herts but the signal wasnt good and the music was never good like the worst kind of house you can get and the worst tunes they could find like they are delibrately trying to be shit

Force never became Project, Force called it a day and someone pals with the owner of Force started a brand new station around that time called Project on 106.5 as it was obviously a free dial

So much easier and less bait to just use a timer, which is what I thought it would be as you said "bang on 6pm" every afternoon.

I'd just leave the aerial up and do it that way, it's a lot less bait than seeing someone wearing a hoodie up on a roof every day.

yeah i know what you mean, they must have went up there every afternoon to swich on and then go and take it down again when they swich off. I think there last few years they were on 24/7 ?

i agree with you that it is bait going to your rig site every night to turn on and off, but they may have had issue with the caretaker etc and never wanted to leave anything up there.

when i done my station a few years back the caretaker of the block was my mates uncle and he knew we was up there and said he would leave it alone, but the council used to take everything every time, but weekends it was only ever targeted by rig thievs (we knew this as the coax was cut once, and the other times the rig was taken and aeriels pulled down and left on the roof)
maybe they had the same problem with their caretaker.

I still think someone from the council grabbed a live dipole of ours at one point. The aerial was down on the floor bent at one end and the circuit breaker that the rig was on had tripped.

You can normally tell who it is as thieves don't come out in the day.

I think the difference with force being so consistent was it was tightly and professionally run. Safe and friendly, don't think the management were to be messed with either so they didn't get any grief from thieves.

[quote="Careless"]i agree with you that it is bait going to your rig site every night to turn on and off, but they may have had issue with the caretaker etc and never wanted to leave anything up there.

I used to have to take a rig down at 6am before work and then chain it up back up again after work at 6pm every day during the week just to keep the station on, I bumped into many a lift engineers "who I was posing as in the first place" I found that the coax cable had been chopped right at the top of the mast at least twice in a month! & would get the occasional visit on a Saturday afternoon! Com were very hungry and had a lot of time in their hands back in 2006 so taking the box up and down during the week was the only feesable way to keep a station running in south London back then..

I think the council are doing a lot of ofcom's donkey work as when travelling to and from work all the usual blocks have no aerials up at all, so you can only assume it is the council as Ofcom have little activity now a days
