OK uksounds.. There is only a bit of info about innov8 and it's on a thread in here...bit of a mystery innit! "DAB" is swearing in our house and haven't got a dab radio anymore because they only lasted for a year or two and then stopped working on dab but the fm still worked.. Squelch squelch is all I can hear on dab..not for me personally!.

Still on in Cardiff, and there's a stream...

Hahahahaha, this post made me laugh.

Just heard a Station somewhere local to Manchester identify themselves as "Innovate Radio" or "Innov8 Radio".

This is extremely powerful in Greater Manchester but is on 101.4.

87.9 a bad idea with Heart 88 Wrexham.

Glad I could be of service sir

its back on 87.9 just a dead carrier really strong!

OK radionortheast.. Yes mate can pick it up.. Tis a bit stronger than last time coz me aerial isn't on it's mast and it's tuned..Good work innov8.. Just waiting for some tunes now..

must admit i'm jellous, just stuck with so so aerial in the loft then another outside thats so so, i'm surrounded by houses, still waiting for innov8 to come to life!

I didn't mean my aerial is tuned to 87.9, just got tuned light ont wireless.. I only use lengths of 2x2 fixed together pmsl to get it higher than the house and screw it to 5ft fence post. It does get a bit blowy up ere so I take it down when it's stormy..I bet you get more unlicensed activity ont wireless than I do??

ahh makes sense now, guess so only because i’m closer, i’ve heard 9 pirates over the past few days so I guess thats good going. I used to live on a big hill signals would boom in there. thought thinking about it it hasn’t stopped anything, heard the odd london pirate now again, the strongest ones and heard a station from brimingham.

you could use a reflector behide your dipole get a boost what direction you where looking for. thought i had uk raw on my omidirectional aerial, first for me i’ve always had to use a reflector behide my dipole. would use it in bedroom, its bit stupid just having an aerial in a loft pointing south and there been mostly dead air most of the time.

That's a cracking idea radionortheast.. A reflector of some kind would make receiving a bit better... I shall have to look into that mate...Top man.

It's on 875 to between Liverpool and Manchester well it was a couple of weeks ago relaying slip mats world of rave show

Different stations.

As teckniqs said. 87.5 nothing to do with Innov8.

Are you the same Sound FM I was picking up must be a good 20 years ago now around Liverpool?? Think it was 106. something though (maybe 106.1?).

Not quite 20 years ago but yes that would be the very one.

Top stuff!
Yes I remember it well must've been 1998 maybe but the signal was nowhere near as good as it was this time.

Does anyone know any contact details for this station?! Like email address or website...

There was such a good tune being played sunday evening 13/06 that I desperately need to find out what it was...

Needles and haystacks...

'traffic jam' was playing last night, kind of ominous the last time I heard it was on phatt 100 afew weeks later it was no more.
