    Hi, hope someone can help me with this. Last Thursday ( about 08:40,21st May), as I walked Burgh Quay in Dublin listening to the radio on my Nokia phone, I picked up this great French-language music station at either 90.30 mhz or 90.70 mhz. I think it was called RFC or RFT not sure and it could have been from France, French Caribbean/Africa/Canada???? The reception was really good and they played really good music, first an Erykah Badu track from her new album and then some Brazilian stuff. I would really love to get the playlist from that morning and find there website. anyone have any suggestions or heard of it? had a google but haven't found any website yet.

    Thanks!!!

    You possibly were hearing French radio from the South of France under 'Sporadic-E' conditions (common enough in May-July).
    Possibly your station was RFM??

    There are no spots at the moment, and there have not been for the last month or so..

    Maybe you were hearing stuff on Sporadic E, but since you are based in Dublin, it's hard to determine where it came from and how.

    A community radio station in Dublin, called NEAR 9O.3
    relays Radio France International in the mornings. This is surely what was heard?

    have a look at :
