Polish skip this evening

Around 16:30, while driving down the M1 (near Wakefield at the time), I noticed another signal coming over the top of Bollywood FM 87.7 (which was by now weak). On retuning my radio slightly to 87.6, the signal of the "interfering station" improved somewhat.

Although subject to fading, the station was heard all the way to my home in Clowne. Occasionally the signal was strong enough for RDS to be displayed. A dynamic RDS was transmitted, which read (roughly, I didn't notice the position of spaces):

POLSKIE
RADIO
BIS
followed by phone number (2 lines of RDS)
then
SMS-2100

Also noticed on arriving in Clowne (at approx 17:00), the normally very weak signal from High Peak Radio 106.4 was quite listenable for a change.

That night, not surprisingly, the weather deteriorated and clouded over. At approx 21:00, while parked at the western edge of Clowne, another station was heard on 87.9 - coming over Vixen 87 on the frequency. This sounded like a black community station, and is suspected to have been from Sheffield. Bounce FM, perhaps?
