Mi Amigo RSL Harwich

[John Freeman]

Anyone got a handle on how the 106.8 is getting out?
Their FB seems to imply it is making it to Ipswich?!

Hi John,
I'm "just about" getting it on a car radio about 12 miles away.
Tony Currie on at the moment.
I may venture over there later, and see how the signal improves as I get nearer.

Strong signal about 8 miles out and very good as I approached Harwich.
Apparently a few hotspots in Harwich where it can't be picked up.

You can go onboard the LV18 while it is broadcasting, and there were quite a few visitors on board.

On the pier nearby, Chris Dannett has his Pirate Memories Exhibition, and it is very good (and free).

Thanks for the info Keith. I couldn't manage to come over myself, but good to know it's a success. That part of the country is bound to have many anoraks, having had the stations in sight. I think Suzy, Steve and Danny had interesting memories on air today.

I'm sitting in for Steve tomorrow and I'm planning a "day after" content, talking about what happened afterwards, Philip Birches intentions to find ways to continue, what happened to the Galaxy, the Radio London/BigL revival and what led to today's BigL

What I've heard over the last half hour has been disappointing. I.e. not much aligned to the Mi Amigo I remember.

Too much personal music being played.

Hope it improves before they run out of time.

looks like the webstream still keeps switching to the test tone. as thats all i'm getting now

[John Freeman]

I've really been enjoying the varied output - nice to hear the Peter Chicago Radio Day interview played by Bart Serlie, and there's Tony Prince to look forward to this evening
I've half a mind to travel over to Harwich and if I wasn't already going to Stoke v Aston Villa I would do.
Although it would be slightly surreal seeing Enda and Tony on another lightship

I don't know about the FM signal but I am sure many of you have heard the webstream by now, Technically the station is a shambles the levels are blasting the speaker out of your radio one minute and the next you can hardly hear it. It sounds nothing like Radio Mi Amigo as I remember it. Its not got any better as the broadcast has gone on and really is sadly quite an embarrasement to the original Radio Mi Amigo.

i hope they don't do one around the same time as caroline are doing they weekend of caroline north in 2016 as i think most will have that on & not Mi Amigo RSL
that if they are planing one.
