Heading to london next week...

Post by RingwayManchester » Wed Apr 27, 2022 8:08 pm

Gonna do a couple of bandscans on the FM dial, from Hampstead Heath and a high rise near LCY. What can I expect to hear?

Was there last june and did a quick scan at ground level and found mostly ethnic stuff.

Interesting (& good) to see Origin back on the dial on 100.3, when did that happen?

Also Pure Vibez on 90.2 is a new one to me, what happened to Weekend Rush?

Also gotta mention WK-END on 99.7 as they're another newbie. Caught these nice & clear a couple of days ago when on my travels around Epsom/Leatherhead. Some very nice liquid D'n'B tunage!

Last time I was in london around october then band was busy, more pirates than legals even. That was from a 3rd floor hotel room near tower bridge just using the built in phone tuner

104.2 Kral
105.1 Infrared
105.6 Playback
That's a really comprehensive list, the main list should be updated using this one!

From my pad in Bermondsey I can confirm these:

87.5 Live
87.8 4Tune *
88.6 Rude
89.4 Citylock *
90.0 Hot Digital
90.4 Whoa **
90.8 Lightning
93.8 Vibes
95.5 On Top **
96.1 S-Dance **
97.1 London Soul
99.3 Digital Soul *
99.5 Venture **
99.8 Supreme *
102.0 Conscious *
105.1 Infrared
105.6 Playback **

I'm indoors, steel framed building, telescopic antenna with a Roberts portable, so limited in my reception abilities! Stations marked with ** are the strongest signals for me, those marked with * good signal strength, the rest are marginal.

I doubt you will be disappointed, last time I was up round your ways we wasn’t getting much at all. Long live the 🏴☠️
