104.3 house music

Post by Nick_G » Mon Aug 15, 2022 10:09 pm

An unknown station playing house music on 104.3 was heard last night and this morning during a tropo lift. Here are two recordings, the first one from the evening of the 14th August, and the second one from this morning, the 15th:

The latter has a better signal.

The only reference I've found for 104.3 is UK Bass, and this does not sound like them. Has anyone else in the London area received a house pirate on 104.3?

Thanks.

I have heard music like this on uk bass I don't think anyone else has used 104.3 and don't forget there is also a legal on 104.4 in Central London where are you picking it up?

Thanks. I didn't realise UK Bass had house shows.

I'm in Whitchurch in north Hampshire, halfway between Newbury & Winchester.

Just check the stream on the website and if it matches you know for sure it's the same....

OK, I had a look on the UK Bass website, and found the download of the 'Mellow Monday Breakfast Show' for August 15th:

https://decisivedesigns.co.uk/ukbass/20 ... -2022).mp3

The breakfast show in on between 6 am and 8am. My time of the recording on Monday morning was 7.16-7.21 am BST, and going through the same section on the UK Bass stream, it does not match. I've checked quite a few minutes either side of that time window to make sure, but it's definitely not them.

Does anyone know of any other pirates that play house on 104.3 from London or surrounding counties?

I get a very strong station here in Welsh on 104.3 but I've picked up London and Birmingham pirates on the hills here before in the past!
I am situated at the West Pennine Moors about 15 miles north of Manchester city centre.

I bet there are some good spots in the Peak District and the Pennines!

Someone else has suggested that my UNID on 104.3 may be House FM. Are they back on FM? Last I heard they were on 90.2 but apparently they went off a while back.

House fm have been of and on on 90.2 lately they would not use 104.3 they are far to close to the legal station from central London on 104.4

This is a real mystery!

Could it be further afield in, say, Essex or Kent?

I picked this about a month ago on a Sunday evening when 104.2 was off air, hardly listenable and 104.4 splattering all over it. I was in barking close to the river / south London . The signal only came in when the aerial was pointing towards Woolwich/ thamesmead . Would say it's Kent based rather then essex

It’s definitely going to be uk bass. That show is probably not the one you heard on that day even though it says so. Although it usually gone way before London. Also house fm is definitely on 90.2 now.
