Demise of Steam Fair FM
Very disappointed to see this announcement: steamfairfm.com/ apparently posted on the 16th of Feb.
Will miss all of the features - Dr Busker on the Radio, Squirrel discussing broken Tractors, Martin Oliver on the Friday, and, most importantly on a year like last year, up to date showground information where the Mobile reception left a lot to be desired. Always thought this was a good way of getting the Peservation Movement "out there" to a greater audience & to me it has become as much a part of the show as the Cider tent. Not quite sure how travel information etc. will be distributed without this valuable feature. Last edited by ****ian****; 21st February 2015 at 01:04 PM.. Reason: One day I'll get links right... |

Has there been a coverage problem in recent years. The reason I ask is every year when we are on the road queuing up to get in, say a mile or so before we get off the main road. We see the signs for Steam FM on the verge. We try to tune in and get nothing. This has been the same weather we are in the Scania, ERF or the van. We have only been able to get coverage when we have been on site in the camping area. Last year I managed to get it on the iPad through the Internet but nothing through the radio on the frequency from the que on the road.

Yes, it was on a restricted licence, it was mentioned on their 'trailers' (the ad type, not the engine type !!)

As has been mentioned elsewhere, I will miss the features and the Martin Oliver interview, it did prove particularly useful last year when we started queuing miles from the site entrance. We could get up to the minute information on site conditions and more importantly know that we would be booked in regardless of when we finally got to the gate (in our case 23:00 on the Tuesday night). If the same happens this year (lets hope I doesn't!) I think the lack of information will prove frustrating to some people as it has been available on the wireless in previous years.
