New Leeds station Jew on air soon

Radio Jcom, a community radio station for Jews, is currently testing on 1386 MW.

Radio Jcom website

The test transmissions feature quite a wide range of music, interspersed with announcements mentioning Jcom's mail address and website.

Start date for full broadcasts is as-yet unknown.

Signal heard as far as Barnsley and Doncaster with a reasonable signal (daylight hours).

ELFM

East Leeds FM, or ELFM, are doing another RSL on 87.7

RDS = ELFM

(Have been heard for a few days actually, but I've only just got round to updating this blog!)

Springwell watch

Springwell Radio, from Springwell School in Staveley, are having another RSL on 87.7

RDS = SPRING

Clear signal in Clowne.
Signal heard as far as M1 junction 32, and then for a short while on the M18.

Earlier tonight, approx 16:45, they were interviewing Staveley town councillors (although I didn't catch any names, or which parties they were representing).

Just a Miraj

Near Garforth, the Asian RSL Miraj FM from Bradford was heard on 87.9

Signal strong enough to read RSL = MIRAJ FM

Still heard on the A1 near Doncaster, and even heard occasionally on the M18 near Rotherham.

Deja vu

One addition to the London pirates list this morning. Namely Deja Vu 92.4, which was heard from 10am. At the time, they were having a phove in on what TV shows, listeners used to watch when younger.

More London pirates

In addition to yesterday's log, the following pirates were heard tonight:

94.6 Kool FM
96.1 Supreme Dance
97.1 Energy FM


Off-topic, tonight at the Marxism event, there was a showing of the film I Cento Passi (which translates to English as The Hundred Steps). This Italian film is the story of a Sicilian trade unionist who stood up against the Sicilian Mafia, back in the 1970's. To spread his message, he started a small-scale radio station, Radio Aut.

London pirates log

Arrived in London this afternoon, for the SWP's Marxism 2008 festival. Staying in student flats near Euston railway station. In my flat on the 2nd floor, from 14:40 to approx 15:00, I can hear the following:

87.9 Shine FM
88.6 House FM
90.3 Point Blank FM
90.6 Unknown FM (?)
93.8 Vibes FM
99.2 Unknown FM
100.2 True FM - Dirty Outlaws mix programme at the time
101.3 Unique FM
107.9 Unknown FM

Unknown FM was on 3 different frequencies, namely 90.3, 99.2 and 107.9 - is this nearby micro-transmitter owned by someone listening to Unknown FM online, so close that it's 'sprogging all over the band'?

Later, at 23:15, I also heard:

94.4 Tempo FM (?) - reggae music format

Also at that time, Unknown FM had disappeared from 107.9, meaning the ex-pirate Radio Jackie 107.8 could be heard.

Roundhay and around

Roundhay Radio 87.7 of Leeds was heard this evening. Understood to be a school radio RSL.

RDS = ROUNDHAY

Signal still audible on the A1 near Doncaster, also occasionally on the M18 between Doncaster and Rotherham.

Also on air at 4pm, the Leeds pirates Fresh FM 95.6 and Peoples FM 104.5
