Whats happened to these stations ??

Post by Westflex » Wed Apr 06, 2016 10:27 pm

These stations seems to of just vanished of late starting from lower dials upwards:

87.5fm - Raw. These guys aint been on for a while now have they few weeks ?
87.7fm - In House. Not picking these up no more, been hit ?
88.2fm - Rude. Not heard these lot in months maybe over a year, are they ever coming back ?
88.4fm - Vision. On and off and when on never getting out too well, not getting them at mo.
90.2fm - Point Blank. Use to pick these up in South London, not at the moment.
90.4fm - Woah. Not my cuppa tea but noticed this dial empty for over a year now.
91.6fm - Genesis. Again not my thing but been on for a long time, permanently off now ?
92.1 fm - Choice. Gone off recently, ofcom related so i heard on here.
92.7fm - Natural Vibez. Not been on for few weeks now, usually back on quick after going off.
93.0fm - Fresh Soundz. Been on for a month now, heard ofcom took them off, still off i think.
95.5fm - Ontop. Another 1 of them that go missing, not picked then up in a while.
98.3fm - DONTTEST. Take this has finally decided its shit and stayed off. DONTCOMEBACK
102.4FM - Wax. Heard them on now and again for few days then vanish.

Add more if you can and there is more, some good stations there some not my type but signal, audio, and some overall generally decent stations there. Maybe some are low power and can not be picked up but then again use to get most of these pretty solid and im not receiving any now.

some of these are definitely online last time I checked definitely raw and ontop and choice recently returned to the net. rude is now a totally online station just in case anyone tries to tell you otherwise because people still think they're going to return. was a great station though.

87.5fm - Not sure, last thing I heard they are setting something up again soon.
87.7fm - No idea but terrible choice of frequency for London, keeps getting removed?
88.2fm - No idea not spoken to them in years
88.4fm - I know they had lots of problems in south so moved back to north, problems in north too?
90.2fm - If they're off I'm sure they won't be off for long, was good signal in south London last week
90.4fm - Came back on last month from lower site, is it off again already?
91.6fm - No they will 100% be back, so if anyone's thinking of using 91.6 don't be silly.
92.1 fm - Came back on today
92.7fm - Don't have a clue.
93.0fm - No idea, rig thieves again?
95.5fm - Was deffo on a couple of weeks ago but it's not coming from the hill any more.
98.3fm - Heard they were just testing, or don't testing.
102.4FM - Came back for Christmas, went off in January. Just a little Christmas thing?

88.4fm - Not getting out well in certain directions due to terrain around new site. Signal halved for me.. getting 20-24dB right now..
90.4fm - Came back a few months ago but was short lived, not heard since.
95.5fm - Lower block but getting them good where I am (43-45dB)

Just to add 92.4fm (USD) rig was possibly damaged by lightning storm around area and is off now..

Is some of the problem down to the usual March / April rush to spend all the Ofcom money to make sure they get a decent budget for the new year?

I think ofcom are starting to win the war more with pirates there is only 1 station i have never heard of air in years and full creds to them because i dont think any station touches them whether you like house music or not.
