Sunshine Radio Woofferton G 105.9 MHz

My main source of information for FM DX-ing is http://www.fmlist.org/, very accurate and up to date most of the time. However when I heard a station on 105.9 MHz with advertising from Ludlow and Tenbury Wells in Shropshire it gave me no probable solution, so I tried RealDX for help. Several guys helped me and it turned out to be Sunshine Radio in Ludlow //855 AM!
Today Günter Lorenz  reports: Location is Woofferton, Shropshire. Just added station to FMLIST.
