QSL M80 Rádio Lisbon 96.4 MHz

My first FM QSL from Portugal: M80 Rádio, broadcasting from Serra de Montejunto near Lisbon with 10 kW. Audible for about 15 minutes allowing me to identify a couple of songs and an ID.

M80 began broadcasting on January 18, 1993 in Spain as Radio 80 Serie Oro. In 1994, the name was changed to M80. In 2018 M80 Radio stopped broadcasting in the country, and was replaced by Los 40 Classic.

But in Portugal, where it started broadcasting in 2007, the station is still present with a solid nation wide coverage:

PA25NATO a special call sign in use during the NATO Summit The Hague

I noticed this special call sign PA25NATO a couple of time on SSTV 14230 kHz. Apparently it is in use to celebrate the upcoming NATO Summit in The Hague, The Netherlands.


It’s going to be quite the event security wise, right in one of the most densely populated areas of Europe, to the point that you think whether it wouldn’t have been wise to select a more convenient location. Good thing that I’m retired and don’t have to deal with all the road closures and resulting traffic jams in the coming weeks.

PY4XC, Rio Doce, 14230 kHz

Last night I made my first reception of a SSTV station from Brazil. I picked up pictures from PY4XC, Rio Doce, Minas Gerais, about 200 kms north of Rio de Janeiro.

When I checked QRZ.com it was obvious that the picture received was that of the shack:

QSL Radio Stad Montfoort 106.8 MHz

Radio Stad Montfoort, or RSM, is the local radio station from the little city of Montfoort, only 5 kilometers south of my QTH. Remco Kuijer was so kind to confirm my reception report. One of their programs is “Radio Bingo”. This game program is so popular that even from other provinces listeners participate by tuning in to their live stream.
