"It's not true I had nothing on, I had the radio on" - Marilyn Monroe
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.
Via Enaire (informacion@enaire.es) I received a QSL for my reception of NDB GRA on 412 kHz. This beacon serves the Aeropuerto Federica García Lorca Granada-Jaën in the south of Spain. The airport is named after the Spanish poet Garcia Lorca who was murdered in 1936 by Nationalist Forces in the Spanish Civil War
A slightly better picture from Google Maps of this beacon:
And a picture of the terminal building. There are direct flights to various locations in Spain and Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
