Maybe it's a misprint and they're running 200 milliwatts :lol:
Even Ofcom have lost track of them! :lol:

Nomad is 20 Watts into a low aerial. Coverage is appalling. If it was my station, I'd get the fees back from OFCOM!

I queried Nomad on 92.2 with Ofcom, specifically why it isn't on their technical parameters spreadsheet and this response came back:

We can see that this station has been off-air since June 2020; our technical parameters only shows stations broadcasting on the airwaves. So if it's operating online, it wouldn't be shown here as this isn't something we regulate.

So Nomad is not on FM at all anymore, according to Ofcom. Anyone in Hammersmith able to check?
