No ID as yet. (21\6 @ 2249) _________ Mon 28/6/01 From: http://www.cazian.freeserve.co.uk/rsl.htm Neil Clark reports there will be no longer be longer be any RSL's in the North West on 106.6 from the New Year. In Liverpool, 106.3 will be the highest allocation & roughly in an area 30 miles from Liverpool, 106.5 may be allocated. This is due to Knowsley FM coming on air, using 106.7 MHz (a new full time ILR). Also, according to Roy Woodward, it won't be TOO long before 106.2 ceases to be available for RSL usage in the north of England - the second Yorkshire regional (analogue) [Emley Moor] should be awarded mid 2001 and be on-air by late 2001/early 2002. Idle and Tapton Hill are expected to use 106.6, so that should put a crimp in the use of 106.5 in the north west. So there will be little or no space at that part of the dial in the North by the end of 2001. Having said that 107.0 remains an RSL channel in the Burnley & Pendle area due to local terrain (Silk FM doesn't get into here at all). He expects most RSL activity from the middle of next year in the north of England to be in the 87.5 - 87.9 area. Neil Clark adds that he expects that 106.5 will more likely be the frequency used for Tapton Hill and Idle, thus keeping 300 kHz from Ridings FM in Wakefield, preventing interference. Having said that, this will only be 100 kHz away from Galaxy at Bilsdale, so maybe 106.6 will be used from Idle. He knows that Bilsdale doesn't get into Sheffield and also he believes 106.6 is being allocated for the second East Midlands IRR (Century 106 does get into Sheffield fairly well), so they'd probably give 100 kHz 'guard' band between the two stations. Neil guesses that with KCR in Liverpool & the second IRR from Emley Moor, the RA would only be left with 106.4 for Manchester's future RSLs. They stopped allocating 105.8 when High Hunsley (Galaxy) came on air & never used 106.0 due to Century. 29/6/01 Hi Group. Just cheked RSL listings http://www.cazian.freeserve.co.uk/rsl.htm#Heading 4 and it look like T.T.F.M is now due on Wed 6th June. Regards Steve Moorcroft _______ 10/6/01 Concept was due on tonight (Sunday 10th June) but when they were testing in the early hours, they received a complaint from someone who works for Knowsley Community Radio about alleged interference. A frequency spacing of 3 Kc's is inadequate for the two stations, especially as some of the KCr presenters live in Wallasey. Therefore it has been decided to pospone the Concept transmission until the frequency can be moved. Tarkwa (105.8) was raided for allegedly interfering with an RSL outside the area a few years back, even though the RSL (South Flintshire Radio) was not intended for Wirral. Jim ____ 1/6/01 Pure FM were on 106.45 fri 1/6 @ 0015. Sreve Mason said they were not on the usual TX or antenna. ____ 30/5/01 I have received a complaint from Dave Collins recently about allegations that Pirate FM's transmitter is drifting and giving out spurious emissions on various frequencies. These allegations were supposed to have been made on the Concept website I have looked through my files and cannot find any such article. All I can put it down to is that someone has been passing on opinions expressed by members of the egroups. As these groups are closed to the general public, members should not be passing on information to 'outsiders' because rumours get spread and twisted around, which results in unnecesary trouble being caused between station operators. The question is: Does Pirate FM actually give out any Sproggies or harmonics ? does it drift off frequency ? your opinions please. _____ Mon 21/5 is on 105.7 21/5@1900 now playing reggae, weak signal here in city centre but sounds OK Simon. Also heard by Jim Lowe. __________ I am currently getting Energy 106 on 106.6 from Ireland. (21/5 @ 2243) __________ 13/5/01 Did anyone hear Fuzed FM from Warrington on 87.7 (an RSL)? It was on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. Also is anyone getting anything from The Bee 106.0 (Blackburn) when Sound FM isn't on? Simon. __________ Sat 12/5/01 KCR are now off (Fri 11/5 @ 2315) Sound FM 105.9 are on with just cont. music so far. _______ 12.5/01 TTFM Hi Group, Here is a piece of info from the R.S.L list from the R.A website: Talkin Toxteth fM 87.9 - Liverpool Community consultation exercise to educate and inform residents in Toxteth On air from 21 May 2001 to 17 Jun 2001 Contact: Tony Oliva Telephone: 0151 707 9614 __________ Fri 11/5/01 I see Pure FM have moved to 106.4. They were on last night (Friday 11/05 @ 0030. They had a female presenter who gave out the following contact details: Mobile: 07881 880877 Email: purefm@ask.co.uk Not much power here (no S reading) _______________ Fri 11/5/01 Station M. Hi Jim,just had a look at your new site,it look great....well done.Ok for some news on the smi special,spoke to Roger Dee this afternoon,as it now turns out the broadcast in October will more than likely not take place on fm,it will no doubt be on medium wave were it originated,but the way things are going there is the possabillity that it just may be cancelled altogether. As for morningstar doing a final broadcast....well I'll let you know whats going to happen shortly,as dr boogie says..."morningstar was born on fm,and thats were it should die...r.i.p". ZSo we may make this bank holiday the final one,cant compete any more because the situation will get worst,so as I cant go down the band below 104 because the power drops off,and we cant go up the band because of 106.7 KCR,???????/,so where do we go....dont want to upset people,but nova/morningstar have used 106.5 for a while,but I guess it's time to call it a day,because too much competition. Very nice site...Steve. __ 18/05/01 Pure FM are on 106.4 (18/5 @ 0033) Slight buzz on modulation. _______ Sun 6/5/01 existing members of Pirate Heads will be unsubscribed as part of our reorganisation of the egroups ___ Sat 12/2/01 This message is via Mark Johnson , (west Midlands Radio Email Group) http://www.geocities.com/piratechatuk/ The DTI have been out yet again and raided most of the Birmingham area stations those raided are: Mix fm Kool fm Sangham fm Sting fm Silk city fm Heat fm However, there has been a surprising turnout of pirates this weekend. ___________
