Nothing has been received in Leeds on 87.7 so the Wk-End relay is either flea powered or on the fringes of West Yorkshire. I've been and parked up static in the high clear send of point areas around Leeds and getting nothing on 87.7 at all on varying times of the day.

Wk-End is normally on 100.8 but it isn't on at the moment, 87.7 for me was MAR from Liverpool, didn't hear anything else on that frequency. :tup

I got something playing dance strong signal, I think it might be quite local, maybe further south I don’t know, i’ve been walking around on high ground nothing heard, there was something different there in one spot, might of been clermont carn. 8-) Theres definately similarities with that receiver to here, I was hearing Klara from Belgium at the sametime, it does get LBC 97.3, French Culture on 98.0, I don’t hear at all. I have line of sight over to the rx, I didn’t hear any of the Ireland txers, at the time I wasn’t hearing them, it is definitely picking up better to the south on it. I'm thinking of giving up rxing here, I don't pick up much, may just use that receiver it picks up similar. 8-)

Yes Luke I can answer that for you. This is actually part human error and part system error most of the time tbh. As the DJ finishes his/her show...the auto pilot is selected to take over. Once or twice the wrong button can be pressed and the adverts go on a continuous loop until the system is physically reset. I can only apologise for any inconvenience if this happens. Also just a quick update while I'm here...we are working on a return to all our usual places in the next few weeks...thanks for your patience during any downtime. I'm sure most here appreciate the struggles we have at times.
