Posto
Emissor do Funchal, Funchal, Madeira. This station
seems to be a much easier catch during the summer
than in the winter. I had been hunting it for
over 20 years, but until now only during the
winter, and now I found it to be a fairly common
catch in August. During the night the station
relays Rádio Renascença. Interference
by stations in the UK and Romania. No sign of
the only remaining RDP station in Madeira on
1332 kHz. |
