I first thought this was Bel RTL from Oignies-en-Thiérache but what I heard did not quite match up to the web stream, although it was very close. I am still not convinced either way. It was definitely not Banquise FM from Isbergues. Any help appreciated. Hopefully there will be some clues in the adverts. There is an ID in here too but the narrowing of the XDR made it difficult to hear.

** Personal Skegness 'First'

The tropo still doesn't match up to the tropo maps in terms of intensity.
