Antena 1, Montemor-o Velho/Miranda do Douro.
The technical department replied in a few hours
by email from gabinete.tecnologias@rtp.pt, excellent
service! |

Note: As with all continents,
only rarities are listed. Another 100+ Spanish
stations would have been available as well.
Iberia (Spain, Portugal, Azores, Gibraltar
& Andorra) counting as a separate continent
is a Finnish DXers' quirk, underscoring Iberia's
traditionally strong status in Nordic DXing
and the distinctive character of its broadcasting
scene.

Radio Neuquén, Neuquén, relaying
LV3 Radio Córdoba (700 AM) from midnight
to 6 am local time. During the hunt I took note
of the exact frequencies of the two most common
Brazilians here: 599.9987 kHz is ZYK278 R Gaúcha,
Porto Alegre RS and 599.9997 kHz is ZYH920 R
Mirante AM, São Luís MA. |

ZP30
La Voz del Chaco Paraguayo, Filadelfia. The
main interfering station is Rádio Itatiaia,
which also uses the slogan "A Rádio
de Minas", on exactly the same split frequency,
and of course Radio Rural was heard as well.
Rural in turn was heard also with Radio Transmundial
programming, so some IDs can initially sound
a bit misleading. |

Radio Nacional, Chos Malal/Comodoro Rivadavia,
relaying LRA1 Radio Nacional from Buenos Aires.
LRA1 has turned 80 years old, which is often
reminded: "Nacional, 80 años, hacemos
radio, hacemos historia." Because of two
different split frequencies, I might have had
two different outlets on these days, or then
one of the transmitters is drifting. |
