BRISTOL PIRATE RADIO RECORDINGS

This blog is intended for me to post my pirate radio recordings. Most of the recordings are from Bristol, most will be pirate but there will be some legal stations and stations from other cities or national stations.

IF YOU OR YOUR FRIENDS HAVE ANY TAPE RECORDINGS OF PIRATE RADIO FROM BRISTOL, PLEASE SUBMIT THEM TO THIS BLOG BY RECORDING THEM TO MP3 (CLICK HERE FOR A HELP GUIDE) AND UPLOADING THEM TO http://www.sharebee.com, or a similar site such as Megaupload, Mediafire, ZShare, but not Rapidshare as it's getting a bit hard to use. SEND THE URL IT GIVES YOU TO ME VIA A COMMENT ON MY LATEST POST or BY EMAIL AT bristolpirates at gmail.com (you'll have to correct that with the proper @ symbol, I started getting spam on the address). WE COULD ALSO ARRANGE A PICK-UP OF YOUR TAPES IF YOU LIVE IN BRISTOL AND CAN'T CONVERT TAPES TO MP3. THANKS IN ADVANCE, YOU WILL BE CREDITED.

Free FM - Bath - 105.8

Relaying Laser Hot Hits and Oldies 104 across Bath, this signal has been around for a while. I haven't had much chance to hear it myself tho, so went of a mission to Bath specifically earlier today. I was in the wrong spot for decent reception really, but here's a recording of what I heard.

Notice how it cuts out suddenly a lot, as if the rig is losing power and then slowly getting it back again a few seconds later. - EDIT : This has now been attributed to my minidisc recorder :D

Anyway, it was stronger in the toilets at Bath Spa station, but where's the fun if the signal is rock steady?


In other news, Rage FM was hit by Ofcom (rig only!) for the first time after just over a year of broadcasting. They've been testing again today, 100.6 and 104.5, so listen out if you're out Taunton way.
