Lincolnshire Show Radio 87.9

On 87.9 is Lincs FM Lincolnshire Show Radio, from Lincoln.

Format is news of the Lincolnshire Show, traffic news relating to the Lincolnshire show, and music (similar to that heard on the ILR Lincs FM 102.2)

Lincs FM have in the past done RSL's, generally for forthcoming ILRs (eg Rother FM from Rotherham). But this seems to be an unusual case of them not only doing an RSL in their home town, but also using the name Lincs FM in the RSL's station name.

A cup of PG

Leeds school RSL PGFM is having another RSL, on 87.7

Signal still audible south of Darrington on the A1, but even before I joined the A1 (junction 42) it seemed to be competing with another, as yet unidentified, station on the same frequency.

Carsington Water - Pirates ahoy!

Visited a RSPB/Springwatch event today at Carsington Water, near Alfreton.

Around 6pm, in the car park there, the following pirates were heard:

89.6 Deep FM, playing house oldies from the late 1980's
95.3 Kriss FM, playing dance/rave music
97.5 Vivid FM
107.8 Radio Azaad (?), Asian

All are believed to be from the West Midlands.

Signals were especially good from the south west and south east, legal stations heard include:

97.2 Beacon FM (Black country)
102.4 Touch Radio (Staffordshire)
104.3 BBC Radio Cymru
105.2 Kerrang (West Midlands)
107.6 Radio Dawn (Nottingham)

Kinda surprising, considering Carsington Water is in a valley and surrounded by hills !
