Just sounds like a pre-recorded mix.
My pal can't hear it anywhere around Hayes or West Drayton area so probably coming from out of London.

picking this up clean and clear with RDS in bucks, so yeah very likely TXing outside London. Playing a pre-recorded drum and bass mix. RDS shows “@UKF.875FM” for socials along with someone’s mobile number.

As I said before I used to live in Windsor great park and last time this station was coming out from around 10 miles south east of Oxford maybe a bit further than that as last week I turned in near Reading and it was not strong but going towards London it was slowly getting weaker but it's enough to deaden the livefmuk uk signal as they were on top of each other and even getting on the A1 from the North circular I still couldn't pick up livefmuk

It looks like it's off again from what I can hear from the reading dx tuner - https://dxtuner.iankelly.co.uk/? but 87.5FM really isn't a good frequency to use. Also maybe Livefmuk took it off because its their frequency.

Back before 2017 live were on 91.8 and the station from west London raw was using 87.5 and uk finest had been on 87.5 for a long time in the early 2000s so I doubt it

Don’t suppose this was strong enough to reach up north, uk’s finest, later raw could be heard, uk’s finest think was 2006. Something weak there on the reading receiver on sunday, something else on 87.8, nothing when I checked this morning.

Uk finest history started way before 2006 more like 1997 or 97 and has had a lot of different names

Wonder why they can’t keep the powerful transmitters on now, i’m pretty sure, unk’s finest and raw were around for a while, raw would send shoutouts to people over at glastonbury, someone said they don't have a station over there now, shame they can't stay on :?

You are right about the past and that is because they had a massive rig and I don't think it's. right I give more details here but it's long gone now and so has the power
