Amber Sound win full licence

Amber Sound, from the Amber Valley (around Ripley) in Derbyshire, now have a full licence to broadcast on 107.2 FM

Signal is obviously quite strong, audible in the valley below Bolsover (near Coalite). Also audible quite well in Bolsover itself. Not a brilliant frequency however; near Chesterfield there is bleedover from Peak FM on 107.4, and in Clowne the signal is virtually swamped by that of Trax FM Doncaster on 107.1

Amber Sound 87.9

Amber Sound from the Amber Valley (near Ripley in Derbyshire) has started an RSL on 87.9.

RDS = AMBERSND

Audible weakly in Clowne, Chesterfield and even as far as Shirebrook (although in Shirebrook, it started competing with another station on the frequency - probably Boundary Sound of Newark). Stronger signal, strong enough to read the RDS, in higher areas such as Bolsover.


Quite enjoyable listening, in the early afternoon, when the DJ was playing old-school dance/soul music from the 1980s and 1970s.
