DMC who is at home in Co Meath has asked me to inform you that he is receiving you loud and clear in Kells and that the signal reaches up to the Cavan Border and the signal is good around Moynalty!

loud and clear in blanchardstown!

Thanks Man,

Further to my earlier reception report, the signal the whole way from Kells to Dublin, up the N3 is good/useable. Occasional flakes of CKR can interfere with the signal, i.e at the bottom of some hills, but on the whole, looks like a good robust signal for most of the North East!

Just so you have an idea, 98FM's most northern boundary would be around Lavey on the N3, about 10 miles south of Cavan town.

Well listening on my way home from Dublin yesterday south bound on the N11 towards wexford, I discovered that phantom 97.3 signal breaks up and dissapears just before the sugarloaf and before the Glen of the downs, thats less than 20 miles out of Dublin.

Wicklow mts

Out of curiosity where is the tx located ? (general area not exact location )

98fm for instance gets all the way down to Arklow, obviously much more power though and coming from three Rock which has some height.
