Someone who was doing it through the sdr here has gone away, the sdr is gone too, not sure if it was because of that, you don’t get stereo from it anyway, it inverts them, easier to puts mixes on mixcloud or something. I suppose if something appears on one it makes it more noticeable, better not to, but I suppose boring, you don't know who's tuning about.

no chance of hearing uber cool stereo either, interesting watching a signal fluctuate, leave you pirates to it, I am not.

I couldn’t get it where I am. Maybe it’s gone off.
I can hear dance music on 3.955 no idea if it’s a pirate tho as it’s a foreign voice [off topic]

They told me that they were on from 10am till 2pm. What power they ran isn't all that clear. Not sure where they were operating from, but I can tell you that 87.5mhz fm was very weak to me.

I tried on the Twente SDR when i saw your post, but I think it might have gone off by then. I'll try either the ground wave, or a more local SDR next weekend.

Nothing here at the moment in South Liverpool. Is it off now or is it just not coming in over here?

There were 2 reports of it from Europe on HFU this morning, around 9-10am. I just tried various SDRs in the North West, and also the Twente one (since ground wave can be a non-starter on HF) and nothing heard, I probably missed it again.

Yeah, it's the luck of the draw I guess . Just had a word with MAR and they've received reports in from Weston Super Mare, France and Ireland so far, so it's definitely getting out.

Yeah, just keep persevering tvtv. They are definitely getting out. Reports received from Ireland, France and Weston Super Mare so far.
