Irish Band Scan

[Persona Non Grata]

1575 KHz is a relay of the Tenerife based English language station Coast FM which seems for some reason to be a popular station to relay from Ireland. It (the relay) seems to be coming from Sligo/North Mayo direction. I've heard it at weekends but not sure if it's on fulltime ?

[Persona Non Grata]

I've heard reports of a Station around 1593 KHz (also some tests on 1521) in the Northeastern part of the Republic

Also a station (KLAS ?) in the West/Northwest region on 1233 (a frequency used back in the day by Midwest) not sure if this is the same station recently heard on 1575 ?

Energy (normally 1440) also heard on 1431 and a station (not sure if Energy or someone else) heard on 1161 KHz

All this "wave jumping" gets kinda confusing ?

Energy returned to 1440 after a few days.

It could be a Swedish station run with only a few watts (the Asphalt telegraph https://www.radioswedeninternational.com/ ) demanding they move frequency even though the chances of actual interference would be remote; they tried this with Blackbeard on 1494 who thought they were being ridiculous. Plus they frequently went off channel, which suggests they arent licensed at all.

it sounds like it might be easier to get licences over there for silly things like longwave or something, i’m guessing they might doing something simliar, the name stuck in my head, other names could of been tarmac telelgraph.
