Oh well, maybe next time. Good that they're simulcasting on 648 though. Must admit I wasn't expecting that.

Are the Station I.D's playing on their respective frequencies though? (I.e, the Manx one on 1368 and the Caroline one going out on 648) or are they all going out on 1368?

Are the 1368 KHz broadcasts being sabotaged by pop-up Radio Energie broadcasting from somewhere in n.e. Ireland?

If the interference would come from Ireland it should be noticeable also on there (I think) http://cheshiresdr.co.uk:8073/
but its only Manx/RCN which comes through with a clear signal

Will post on here the minute BBC Lincoln stops broadcasting on that frequency. In the meantime- keep checking reception of Manx AM on that frequency.

I guess this will improve only North-South reception but not East-West reception (fringe areas except) as long as the beam stays directional - so no reception in the Eastern territories or on the Continent.
What 10KWs only can do proves Radio Capodistria from Slovenia on 1170khz which covers by daylight Northern and Eastern (the whole coast) Italy, Slovenia and the Dalmatian Coast (Croatia) - of course its omnidirectional. The transmitter near Koper/Capodistria (Slovenia) also is situated close to the coast

Perhaps we could petition Manx? They could use 1368 to operate a UK-wide service- keeping the FM for local Manx programming?

Would be fun to see if I can receive it in Munich then - at the moment Mannx is only North-South - so no chance for us on the continent

- maybe in Portugal after dark

Don't forget that 1368 is used a lot during the TT.

Certainly those weekends are the nearest we get to the ethos of the old offshore stations- in that they are hosted by a group of DJ's actually living on the ship. And it shows in the broadcasts they make. Totally different to the usual �studio� ones.
