Something I used hear when were going down the mway on 105.6 on my pocket radio, would be there for a few miles before it went away, would be very strong going over the ouse bridge, would get weaker. I wasn’t sure if it was rsl, it was in mono, i’m sure it played some dance, it may of been a blank carrier sometimes when were going past, its remained a mystery, these type of things did make it more interesting.

One time we went all the way to Hull on the mway, I heard it on 105.6, then another pirate on 105.3, as we got closer to hull, this was in stereo.

I could only pick it up very weakly back at home, alot of the time the frequency had other things on it fantasy fm so was not very clear.
I think it may of been when fantasy moved to 105.9, I heard it coming over very weakly back at home, the letters ggv. I’ve not known if i’d heard the letters correctly at all, was surprised to see it listed on the pirate archive the letters were correct, g stands for grapewine, it is amazing after all this time, know abit more about it, still a kind of mystery. Something of an oddity, as usually these stations exist in cities not in towns.

I managed to find a time table for it, none of dj’s i recognise at all, (dj’s didn’t play at other stations) i’m guessing it was not known about outside of the area, signal would of unlikely reached sheffield or leeds seemed low power. Facebook dosen’t allow me to link to this directly, hope its ok that I saved this. The time table does show it starting at 1pm each day with a postal address for goole.

Later on I was able to hear it at ground level weakly near a nature reserve, must of been before kiss105 started its transmissions . It was easier when it was transmitting white noise to hear it further away. I managed to get hold of the radio I used to have when I was hearing these things, it didn’t work, a bush casset walkman with digital tunning, think it did have good reception. Wonder if anyone heard it

Goole originally (late 80s) had a station called WLNG on 104.9 so there's history of activity in the town. Hull, I think, had a Radio Takoradi around the same time on 104.8/9 ish. WLNG was audible from Sheffield but not so Takoradi.

Have to look that up, saw something called no nonsense meant to have a transmitter in selby never heard of it. I didn’t know much about radio then, I just though it was because Goole was flat the signal didn’t get far, then dream came on from york was heard everywere.

I heard a few stations when we were near Hull, they’ll usually appear after the car had made it up the hill at high hunsley, going down through walkington and Beverley. I heard a pirate playing gabba on 106.9, heard until about leven in mono, another time we went through Hull heard something on 107.4, I think 105.3 might of been twlight. I tried to hear them back at home, but could never hear them, the community station from hull can be heard, would be a simliar distance, I suppose there were lots of stations from Sheffield so they wouldn’t of been heard. At the time dad rigged up a dipole in the loft which provided better reception.

I suppose i’ve always wondered about stations, since started using the internet, you’d see a station listed no information about it, specially if they are from your own area, some were you know of, start to wonder.
