Infrared 97.5

Post by whitenoisedb » Mon Dec 28, 2020 11:01 am

I’ve been picking up this station around south west since a few days before Christmas, playing hardcore and d&b. Anyone else able to pick it up?

There’s not much of a website going on www.infrared.fm

Been locked in for a bit this afternoon. Been playing some nice tunes! Terrible choice of dial though! The moany LBC listeners will have a field day moaning to the com about these lot!

Hopefully this lot last & aren't a 1 rig wonder (would probably do themselves a favour in the long run if they moved elsewhere), nice to see a much needed D'n'B station pop up in London (especially now Kool/Origin/Rude have all gone online only) - We really don't need anymore shit clones of Ragga/R'n'B/House music stations!

They'll last for just as long as it takes a couple of OFFCOM "inspectors" to shake off their torpor, sober up enough to drive, and call out the Plods for "support". There will already be hundreds of complaints from LBC listeners.

Take it from someone who's been there, done that.... Putting your station 200kHz from a big audience talk station is guaranteed to earn you a raid in short order. Find somewhere else on the band! No matter how well your rig is bandwidth limited, you'll be causing interference to the old farts who have receivers from the 1950s with IF bandwidths of 500kHz and more (to overcome their inherent drift!).

Probably because you will hear it bleeding in as lbc is talk only, any kind of beat/music will be noticeable.

I listen to LBC on DAB and it helps me go to sleep to.
