S9 + 60 signal in Dundalk, Ireland.

16:34 I Won't Let You Down, PhD, followed by ID Kiss, Playing the music of your life.
16:36 Hang On In There Baby, Johnny Bristol.
16:39 Break The Rules, Status Quo.

The station has been on 1602 kHz and various others above 1600, for a while. But the signal was not making it to any SDR so I did not report it.

ComReg in Ireland issued this document, which can be found online: Spectrum Intelligence & Investigations Annual Report 2021-2022.

On page 35 there is a report of a station in Dundalk Ireland being visited, and on the next page, a picture of the equipment seized. It shows 1494 kHz in the station logo.
