Don't expect any response to this, but to those of us who pass through Limavady in the North, happen to scan to 107.0 fm, and come across a weekend Christian station?
Well, I did; nothing against it, no matter where it happens, but when I passed the source (transmitter site), I nearly crashed when I seen the size of the antenna which covered only the town, I nearly crashed!!
It's like the size of someone using shortwave as a hobby, talking to others around the world (an enthusiast), and the quality and audio was really bad including harmonics!!
It was only on for 3 days, so I assume it was a short RSL, but whoever decided what was needed to broadcast didn't obviously reseach properly into what was needed for such a short range FM broadcast for such a short length of time!!
