Strong here in Hammersmith and strong when I was in east London last week seeems like a much better choice I used to have interference from 998 here when it was 997 and no chance of it in east

Yes it is but when project was on 106.5 that was much stronger I used to be able to pick them up for miles and I am really surprised that they closed down entirely

I remember hearing it clear as a bell in Aldershot, Hampshire when it was coming from Essex. Used to be solid all the way around the whole M25 as well.

That's pretty damn good going as Newbury's 66 miles away as the crow flies. Heard they got locked out of their block which must have been a real disappointment for them to say the least. I don't think they lasted much longer after that. :rip

That makes sense I think the last time the fm was on was about 2 years ago and they were online for about a year after before they ceased altogether so they probably didn't want to be online only I know a lot of people didn't like project I did like them they were something different and are missed by some people

I wonder what happened to project I could just about pick them up some days. Not heard for a few years.

I have tried to find out without success last heard on 106.5 around September 2020 and online about 11 months ago no one seems to know? I could understand if it had been 2 bob amturerish setup but it was one of the highest quality signals for years
