Radio Marina is broadcasting with 20 Watts only from Vigono (near Padua) in Italy. With quite a bit of interference from TalkSport Radio (UK) on the same frequency I was only able to copy them when they were sending a morse signal:
My report was answered within a day with a friendly email in Italian, translated like this:
Yes Peter I confirm that you have actually listened to Radio Marina in 1107 Khz, and we thank you very much, this small reality does not broadcast music due to copyright problems as it is non-commercial and non-profit, except during the Christmas period with themed music. For this reason this jingle with the Morse message inserted was chosen for all the most distant radio listeners.
We broadcast from Vigonovo in the province of Venice
