1044 UnIDed
Following the special case of Canibal I now present you another for the time being free radio station but still not identified (or possibly indirectly identified )
After the closure of nearly the half radio stations from ERA , including the three transmitters from Thessaloniki our city is now free from local radio stations .
With the closure of the German station this year , the frequency was clear since May 13
Shortly later on May 13thn a new station has been started fist by relaying a local FM radio station well known of playing traditional songs on afternoons and nights every day.
But later as per my monitoring , this station (??i have some doubts for it ) reappeared with its own programming (read play list with mp3 collection ) with old Greek songs , but more especially pops (not folk as most others )from the 60-80 era that later (after 9 pm ) ‘hardens ‘ a little still into ‘light folks’ and goes vice versa . . All these songs were highly popular those old times. That makes me suppose the operator’s age is around 50 That is after listening sometimes this station for more than 3 hours (for looking for ID )
And little later this station appeared wth mostly western pops of 70a and 80s , but their transmissions are highly irregular . More recently the station airs old songs of 60-80s with emphasis on Italian and French songs.
Although with some little direction finding (by turning the radio ) shows to be in line with Athens (ie Cannibal ) their propagation pattern is different with more frequent fade outs and higher signals than Cannibal . As for example my parallel testing with them on 7-9 shown signals as low as 23/05/6 to as high as 35/18/10 ( db S - S/N – S on 16H antenna on R75 ) That makes me believe that the station transmits possibly from further than Athens with higher power
I am also wondering if this station did a frequency change from 1035 to 1044 as the station has nearly same signal. If this is the case the station then is called Daffy . Thanks to the radio pirate mates who helped me for this information
