Chaine 3 87.6 heard again and dnk heard on newcastle receiver

Post by radionortheast » Tue Jun 03, 2025 9:50 am

On the 17th of may I once again had chaine 3 87.6 in big letters this must be the limit for these kind of signals, something does seem to come through again, it comes all the way from north africa, is a long way for an fm signal to travel.
I also heard a number stations on the newcastle receiver on the 20th, though they sounded german, may of been danish, frying away, they were on 87.7 and 87.9, 87.9,93.2,
95.1, 101.4, 102.1,103.3, 95.1,102.1 some were stronger
the rds came up 102.1 radio 4 rangstrup dnk 696kms. 8-) these traveling under tropo
Checked the cambridge receiver no stations coming through, there weren't any stations I could hear at home either at the time, makes it quite interesting maybe you can travel afew 10’s of miles and not hear a lift, its worth checking.

That was far for sure about 1,300 miles or so. I must have missed your post sorry I ignored it cause I like a bit of
FM DX signal on my TECSUNs radio. Doubt I could hear that with indoor antenna though.

Well done for hearing it, that must be close to the limits as you say. You heard it from another continent ! Algeria blooming hell.

Here is someone else hearing it for others to hear as well.

The dial is Glowing 88-108 , spin the wheel to light those Red LEDs , see signal needle rise.
