EchoDrift & Maddyson
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?
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.
