Basically, yes, M25 between J28 and J3. 99.5 could have been someone else as I didn't get any RDS.

Rude FM are back on 88.6 this weekend. It's a special event broadcast, apparently they will have close to 20 live DJs to celebrate the life of DJ General -- one of the original Rude FM DJs who passed away in September. More info here:

Interesting did you not get house fm on 90.2 and digital soul radio on 99.3?

Rude 88.6 silent but absolutely crystal here in West Wickham. Never heard them this clear before down here. Love this station since their original 104.3 days. . Hope they are back on FM for good and not just for the tribute to DJ General

Anyone know of the latest of the reported joint DAB project with Origin UK?

I hope they stay on. Tribute weekend was shockingly good. They have always be a bit sporadic with broadcasts, even when on 104.3, before the move to 88.2.

Rather slim pickings yesterday, whilst around the M25 Kent/Sussex borders:

87.8 4tune
88.4 Vision (RDS: VISION)
89.6 [presume Golden Beats]
92.2 Eruption
92.7 F8
94.6 Kool FM
95.5 OnTop FM (RDS:OnTopFM)
99.3 Digital Soul
99.5 [playing reggae]
99.8 Supreme
104.2 DEM (is this Kral?)
105.6 Playback

Select on 94.4 were coming in really well, good signal and good modulation, better than the other 'community pirates'.
if it ain't broke, keep tweaking

Think I posted about this previously but no harm in doing it again. UJR on 94.2 is Urban Jazz Radio. The frequency is advertised on their website www.urbanjazzradio.net. Yet the ident is Unlimited Jams Radio. Quirky to say the least.

Do you mean West Wickham or West Wycombe? The former is close to Bromley, the other the complete other side of London, fair play of they're reaching West Wycombe! Perhaps they've upped their power, last time I listened they were barely receivable beyond their manor :tup
