Ah that's why it's so poor around Dublin. And No.1 FM around Liffey valley also probably blocks some of it too.

I haven't heard No.1 FM lately. It may be gone. I did hear Absolute 80s on 99.0 from roughly the same area though.

There are 2 Kiss FMs as far as I know: One on 101.5 which often changes frequencies, and one in Co. Meath on 105.7.
On another note, no sign of that temp which was to appear on 99.5.

I am surprised if this organization could put together a proposal that was approved by the BAI. Personally, I don’t think we will hear them on air at all - but they are approved for the use of 99.5 for the next 2 months so Heat/Space FM should stay clear.

Yes, it was reported here on boards.ie a few years back. Here's the discussion:

No.1 is still there. Heard it today. It's a strange one. They have been relaying it for years but it cuts off once you cross the M50 flyover. Maybe because the reach is so small is how they have gotten away with it for so long. The other questions I ask is why no.1 FM of all stations?!

Yep, 'page cannot be displayed'! They seem to have had some involvement with Phoenix FM (maybe a show?), but nothing on their own that I can find. No online station even.

No, midlands. Mullaghmeen hill on the Westmeath/ Cavan border.
The Q network is strongest but Connect comes in in places.

In Naas the other day and Connect was the strongest followed by Phever with Trax inaudible - did you get Newstalk on 107.9 ?

I'll check later - it certainly didn't automatically lock on a scan with the tuner, but I may well be able to pick it up with a manual tune.

Newstalk 107.9 is Clermont Carn - seems to be a few dB down on the national services from the same site but still quite a wide catchment due to a clear frequency being used

Yes, 107.9 - Newstalk on a manual scan 22dB.
