    Ah yes, 69am, that frequency very popular in nursing homes. watch out for the torrent of piss shorting out your valve set though.

    I've only heard a couple of programmes but some friends of mine enjoy both those and the music stream. Stream quality is good. Got a live version of Eric Clapton's I Shot the Sheriff on at the moment, prior to that I Feel Love by Donna Summer.

    They are "broadcasting" from Kirkcaldy. These two frequencies at the extremes of the FM band are the sort used for RSL's?

    Actually they are based in Edinburgh...only one of the DJs jokes about being based in Kirkcaldy!

    Its a pity they`re not on dab as there is space but i guess its the cost but i like the sound of the station. Definitley sounds better than the new eklipse sports radio on dab.

    I'll be in Edinburgh on Friday. I'll have a wee tune around to see if they are actually on these freqs.

    These freqs are only used occasionally as the station is primarily 24/7 online.

    Only white noise on these two frequencies yesterday afternoon.

    It was interesting having a wee tune around in Edinburgh. There is a lot more on the band than there was when I lived there.

    My monitoring location and equipment was carefully chosen..........not.

    The bench at the top of Blackford Hill beside the trig point and the police mast, ('coz its' only 15 minutes walk/climb from my parents house), and a Nokia X2 phone that was in my pocket.

    All of the BBC nationals (x3) plus nan Gael (x4), Classic (x2) Forth 1 (x3), Real (x3) and Capital (x2) from Black Hill, Forfar, Penicuik, and Craigkelly. Clyde 1 and Smooth also from Black Hill and Tay FM from Angus. Kingdom (x3 including the 10w relay in Kirkcaldy), and East Coast FM from Haddington,, Black Diamond FM from Newtongrange, Garrison and Castle from a bit closer.
    Missed Central FM but I'm pretty sure it would have been there.

    Although not really practical to take a descent sized aerial and a better receiver up there, with a 6 element yagi I'd recon you could get the BBC Nationals from Meldrum, Ashkirk and Sandale, Borders from Selkirk and Eyemouth, Newcastle from Chatton, Wave from Dundee Law, Northsound 1 from Durris and West FM from Darvel. I've picked them all up in the past in various parts of the city. How sad am I ?

    Darn so Heart still here then lol.

    Yes but, as I posted previously, they are rarely used these days as the station rightly concentrates on it's 24/7 online output.

    the freqs are still announced on some of the older station IDs.

    It`s a pity they don`t try advertise somewhere. billboards/bus shelters etc to let more

    people know about this Scottish station. On well known websites where people would

    see the ads. I only came across it via here on DS and am enjoying it.

    I`m lucky to have unlimited internet tho on my smartphone (giffgaff £12).

    Agreed, DS but these things cost money.

    Which websites were you thinking of?

    This Saturday's line-up includes former Radio Scotland 242 DJ Tony Meehan with the latest edition of his "Tony Meehan Returns" at 3pm.

    Tony's show is preceded by the station's top rated show, "AJ on your Radio" at 12noon which includes an eclectic mix of music, old and new. It's so worth a listen!
