Re: Flex fm
It's quite good in Windsor Great Park are you saying that it is going to have more powerful transmissions when it starts properly?

Re: Flex fm
I listen to the stream, but audio volume is very low and sounding very bad.

Re: Flex fm
That looks like it should work a lot better (vertically) and it sounds to me like it is. And loving those high power Dipoles....Danieljames wrote: ↑Thu Jun 28, 2018 6:25 pm Reception repot please! Low power 1.0 swr just testing...

Re: Flex fm
Sound distorted at the moment on the stream. Don't know if that's also on FM

Re: Flex fm
Yeah, I've had to turn up the gain on my media player. FM is fine.
Re: Flex fm
I am getting it about 28-30dbs on my tuner (which is exactly the same as the aerial setup before) in Bromley. I am just wondering how the selection of the aerial works with a community station? I was under the impression that ofcom would specify what type of aerial should be selected? Seems you have a bit of flexibility (no pun intended)
Had a listen last night, some house tunes where on and it sounded pretty decent to be fair![smiley :tup](./images/smilies/me.gif)

Re: Flex fm
200w ERP
I'd fancy a tweak with that stack spacing - looks a little on the large side with energy going up rather than out

50 watts and the spacing is a full wave with a 1.0 swr!

Re: Flex fm
Now getting stereo and RDS on my pocket radio indoors if I point towards the south west. Still sounds better on FM than online where they need to turn the gain up.

Re: Flex fm
They need some compression/processing on their stream. It sound too flat and distorted sometimes. Take Point Blank as an example for that.
