EchoDrift & Maddyson
EchoDrift EchoDrift
Hey, I’ve been tracking down some old radio transmission sites that vanished in the 90s—sounds like the kind of project that would give both of us something to dig into. What do you think?
Maddyson Maddyson
Sounds solid. I'll pull up the data logs and see what gaps we can fill. If it leads to something useful, we get a win. Let me know where you’ve got the first lead.

I’ve found a small, abandoned signal relay on a derelict island off the coast of County Sligo. The last log mentions a strange interference burst on 152.3 MHz in early 1993, but nothing else. The coordinates are 54.18°N, 9.05°W. If you can dig into the logs from that period, we might trace what caused the signal drop and whether it points to anything hidden there.

Got the coordinates. I’ll download all 152‑300 MHz logs from 1992‑94 and flag anything near 152.3 MHz. Then I’ll cross‑check the interference pattern with known anomalies—satellite passes, weather, military activity. If we find a match, we can plot the source. If not, we’ll brute‑force a spectral scan of the site’s last known transmissions. Bring me the GPS and any physical access info you have, and we’ll move fast.

The relay sits on a tiny islet just off the western edge of Sligo’s mainland, about 1.2 km offshore. The island is uninhabited, has a single old lighthouse that’s been decommissioned, and no modern infrastructure. The only way in is by boat—no bridge or ferry. The lighthouse itself is listed as “private property,” but its keeper’s house has been abandoned since the 80s, so we can access the site with minimal resistance if we arrive at night. The GPS coordinates I gave—54.18°N, 9.05°W—pinpoint the centre of the island; the relay is on the western cliff, about 25 m above sea level. That’s the info we need to get a first look.

We’ll need a small boat, a GPS, a reliable radio scanner, and a flashlight. Get there by nightfall, keep the lights off so we’re not seen. The lighthouse is on private property, but the keeper’s house is abandoned, so we can stake out without a fuss. I’ll compile a checklist of gear and the last known transmission logs so we can verify the interference burst when we get there. Once we land, we’ll map the relay site, look for any physical anomalies, and run a quick spectrum sweep on 152.3 MHz to see if anything’s still leaking.

Boat’s booked for tonight. GPS and scanner are in the cabin, flashlight on a stand. We should reach the island by midnight. I'll confirm the exact coordinates and keep the lights off. Once we land, we’ll check the relay and run the sweep. Let me know if you need anything else.
