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.

Thanks for the information on Rage FM: it was reported on the website of the Shortwave (Free Radio) DX Blog as well. What annoys me about Ofcom is that inordate amounts of taxpayers money are spent on closing down Rage, Passion Radio Bristol etc, but the regulator seems to permit rogue legal stations such as the reactionary Voice of Africa station in London to continue broadcasting with impunity!
Keep tuned.
Rage was was back on over the weekend and sounds like business as usual apart from very little sign of live links for local info etc. Tuned in now on 100.6 near Taunton and the signal is good again! :D
This is in the local rag today.
