RE: [HCDX] Unid. RSL on 1593

[Dave Kenny <dave_kenny@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

UCB has a UK satellite licence and has for years been campaigning get a
terrestrial medimwave licence, so far without success. However, the Irish
authorities seem to be quite lax about letting them broadcast even with high
power, although they have no formal licence to use 549 or 1593 kHz in the UK
or Eire.  So these are "unofficial" transmitters operated from the Republic
of Ireland... 

73s, Dave Kenny

Hi Kenneth,
The station heard on 1593 is identifying as Cross Rhythms.
The Breakfast Show dj gives his e-mail contact address as :-
steve.kenyon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
and a telephone number at  01782 641121.
01782 is the STD code for Stoke-on-Trent in England where United Christian
Broadcasters are based. And "UCB" has been mentioned in announcements. This
not a RSL.
UCB has used 1593 from a site in the north of Ireland (but south of the
border, in Eire) previously (as well as 549) and I guess this is what they
have on air again. The signal is very strong in NW England and I would
suggest several kilowatts are being used.
549 is also found on air at similar strong level, but with a different
programme to 1593. If you have access to satellite you should find them on
Astra. (thanks to Dave Kenny for this)

73's.................Noel
