88.2MHz

Huge blank carrier on there today. Fully noise-quietening in much of North London!

Is Rude coming back then, or somebody else?

Doesn't appear so. It's been on for months and will no doubt remain in silence until it's eventually switched off....

Yep, they've done it, they've taken the Blankety Blank cheque book & pen from 971 the previous owners.... what a pointless exercise

It wasn't as huge the days before. This is a new rig (perhaps the last one was raided!). It's also got no hum whatsoever.

It's certainly got some coverage and is probably very well sited. Unfortunately it's sandwiched between two first adjacents - both pirates - that have somewhat overmodulated signals. Vision on 88.4MHz is close to being right, but Pulse on 88MHz is way over!

Shame. Was listening to a streamed set earlier. DNB wise, nobody touches them with their diverse underground sounds. I know Kool and Origin have some top dj's, but it is normally pretty mainstream music by numbers.

I think Pulse and Vision quite like it being there as it's a 'speed bump' towards either when scanning through.....

Their rigs seem to be lasting better on silent than on live now days!

It might be amusing to locate it, find the input frequency to it, and take out the two adjacents each side with some very overmodulated white noise....

You won't be able to do that. A friend of mine tells me they have the most powerful link in the world! :tup
