QSL Radio Castilla La Mancha 91.9 MHz

July 10, 2025 / / 0 Comments

Radio Castilla-La Mancha is a Spanish public radio station belonging to the Radiotelevisión de Castilla–La Mancha group , a company dependent on the autonomous government of Castile-La Mancha . It belongs to the Federation of Radio and Television Organizations of the Autonomies , a professional association that brings together the main regional public radio and television channels in the country.

I heard them during the July 1st, opening. Jesus Sanchez was so kind to confirm my reception report. Apart from identifying the station with PI code I received a traffic message for Toledo, Spain:

UPDATE: A strong Radio Castilla La Mancha station ID. I heard this one on 105.9 MHz, which has only a 350 Watt relay listed in Riópar, Castilla La Mancha:

QSL COPE Madrid 92.0 MHz

On 92.0 MHz I heard COPE Madrid, Spain. Actually it was COPE Mas Madrid via a 2 kW relay transmitter in Villalbilla, 25 kms east of Madrid:

the Villalbilla / Monte El Viso relay station

According to FM list I heard a COPE Más Madrid broadcast, but I heard an annoucement of both COPE Madrid and COPE Más (with the frequencies 106.3 and 94.8 for the Madrid transmitters):

COPE Madrid is Madrid’s leading generalist channel, with a broad focus on news, sports, and current affairs, strongly oriented towards the local community and sports enthusiasts.

COPE Más is a supplementary channel that places more emphasis on entertainment, lifestyle and cultural topics, often with a local and accessible approach.

My reception report was confirmed by Mrs. Beatriz Perez Otin, journalist, producer and presenter at COPE. Thank you Beatriz!

Radio Marca Sevilla is a radio station based in Sevilla, Spain, part of the Radio Marca network. The station is dedicated entirely to sports as witnessed by their slogan “El Deporte es Nuestro” (The Sport is Ours), which I clearly heard during my reception of the station:

The Radio Marca network started in 2001 with the newspaper Marca as its craddle. My reception report was confirmed in two emails from the technical department by mr. Pablo Arellono Mauleon and mr. Manuel Martinez Bravo. Thank you so much!

The picture below shows the Radio Marca network. Not really nation wide, but focussing on the bigger cities. The station in Sevilla on 94 MHz has a power of 1 kW.

QSL COPE Andalucía 87.6 MHz

July 7, 2025 / / 0 Comments

During a nice opening towards Spain on July 1st one of the stations I picked up was COPE Andalucía. I did hear the regional COPE Andalucía ID, but not the more local Cordoba or Granada ID. And as the two 1 kW transmitters are only 100 kilometers apart it is difficult to say which location I received. Cordoba might be a bit more likely given the other stations I heard, but not by much.

Manuel Marin from the technical department in Granada was so kind to confirm my report.

QSL NDB HN-330 Hornafjördur

Hornafjördur Airport Terminal

NDB HN on 330 kHz serves Hornafjördur or Hornafjörður Airport, located on the south east coast of Iceland. It serves the community of Höfn (about 2500 people) with scheduled flights to Reykjavik. The terminal building looks slightly bigger than that of Thorshofn, but not by much.

QSL for NDB HN-330 Hornafjordur (and TN, VM as well)

It is my 6th beacon from Iceland confirmed. Mr. Guðmundsson from Isavia was so kind to send a scan of the QSL letter.

QSL NDB TN-373 Thorshofn

A QSL for NDB TN-373 Thorshofn, an Icelandic beacon that I don’t hear as often as some of the ones earlier posted in this blog.
Thorshofn Airport, or properly spelled in Icelandic, Þórshöfn Airport is a small airport on the Langanes peninsula in northeast Iceland. There are flights to the bigger Akureyri airport 5 days a week by a plane that does a round trip Akureyri – Vopnafjörður – Þórshöfn – Akureyri.

ccording to Wikipedia the terminal building is only 12×9 meters as domestic flights in Iceland don’t need security checks and the 19-seat Twin Otter aircraft used does not need large terminals.
