A couple of new ones:

89.6 Westside Radio with ID
90.4 BBC 3CR

Also the following pirates heard so far not already mentioned (more to come):

88.4 Vision Radio
88.6 Back2Back FM
89.4 Unknown FM

Stop stealing all the Tropo Nick!

Some more:

90.4 BBC 3CR
91.6 Genesis Radio
92.6 Radio Verulam
93.8 Vibes FM
94.0 gospel/religious music - presumably Voice of Africa Radio
95.1 Origin FM (this was earlier in the evening)
95.5 On Top FM
98.3 RJR London (presumed)

still slowly going up the band...

Ironically I can't get a clear signal on Res104.4 at the moment here in London, because it's being battered by something I can't quite make out... ...actually I can, it's NOS Radio 1 from Goes, Netherlands, which has to be the first international catch to batter its way through the London congestion for a while (not that I bother much with DX these days, minus roof aerial and with masses of electrical interference and pirates).

That's the only international signal I've got, but the band is crammed with distant BBC signals from Sutton Coldfield, Oxford, and particularly Wenvoe (including BBC Radio Cymru on 96.8, totally wiping out Choice FM around here).

I think my normal pirate count has been halved.

Edit: I think you can definitely hear more of them than I can right now.

I have just logged

Vision Radio for the first time.
95.1 D&B
Also getting Select on 99.3
Flex 99.7
Kiss 100.0 is clear
101.2 is grime
103.7 is Garage to
D&B on 107.3 to

Will be going to London tomorrow so might miss the tropo

I can hear Radio Wimblebore on 87.7! Very weak with only 10% clarity, but they are talking about tennis and mentioning player's names. Must be Wimblebore!

Better go to bed in a minute.

Your unids are most likely:
95.1 Origin (London)
101.2 Xtreme UK (SE Essex), or possibly Luton Urban Radio (from Luton, obviously).
103.7 Shake (SW Essex)

To confirm, that's playing a mix of female vocal R'n'B / romantic reggae at the minute (interspersed by silence and Windows error noises - sounds like their overnight playlist has gone wrong)...

The usual Italian stations in their usual place at the very bottom of
the band.

Try not to blink!

Good DX!

John
Skegness, Lincolnshire

Well the Italians are lasting longer today than they did yesterday as it's buzzing this morning.
I've had sod via tropo here (sit's here green with envy) and I was out last night in the car and nothing out the ordinary.

Andy

It got up to 95.8 a few minutes ago with stations from Cannes coming through. Nothing now as the Es cloud has got too close.

At one point I was receiving Virgin Radio from La Clusaz (not that far from Geneva) at 920 km.

Good DX!

John
Skegness, Lincolnshire

I've logged 6 stations already but only weak stations between the powerhouses here and it's died down now.

There's thundery rain passing each side of my location as I can hear lightning on the radio so hopefully it will miss us.

Andy

Es now to Madrid area

John

Agreed, smorris. I gave up on Es and tropo DX for the same reasons -- pirates and noise -- but it was a pleasure to hear Dutch so clearly last night in London.

It's great to be able to disseminate the latest DX so quickly via this thread. I wouldn't have bothered to tune in last night otherwise.

I am receiving Arabic music on 87.6 Algeria/Tunisia probably at the moment.

Andy

Sorry guys might be a bit late, but for the past hour there has been Es all over the band.

So far only got RDS for-
KISS FM 99.3
COMRADIO 99.0
and 2 new ones
92.9 "SERB"
87.7 "968-1"

No idea about the "968-1" think it was from east europe

Not forgetting all the Belgians are enhanced nicely again.

The 968 is a phone No 968-111-777 I have had that today a few times in the past I'll check later because I can't remember what station it was.


Andy

OK, I think it might be from Serbia.

I thought my radio was playing tricks when "R D S" showed up on 87.6, but then I heard the jingle

I also have a weak BBC Cambridgeshire pushing through on 96.0

The band was absolutely insane the past few hours, all died down around 30 minutes ago now though.

I'm picking up something which sounds Greek or Spanish on 87.7 (in Merseyside). It's constantly fading in and out, wth no RDS yet.

Also hearing soft piano/classical music on 88.2.

I'm getting Spanish weakly on 92.2

It's RNE-CASSIC I had it on 88.2/91.6/98.1 while coming up our street and pulling up outside our house.

Andy

Now getting pop music on 90.6 which matches this playlist: http://twitter.com/#!/FGG_PR (Spanish station)
