QSL Radio Marca Sevilla 94.0 MHz

July 9, 2025 / / 0 Comments

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!

QSL NDB SPP-420 Sevilla/San Pablo

June 22, 2025 / / 0 Comments

A QSL for NDB SPP for Sevilla Airport on 420 kHz. Thanks to Enaire for confirming my reception and sending the data sheet:

NDB SPP is located 7 kilometers east of Sevilla San Pablo Airport. When I checked the location I noticed that the beacon is surrounded by solar farms. Exactly these are the point of a controversy in the Netherlands as their reflection creates a safety risk as pilots are blinded.

The current situation at Schiphol Airport… a lot of concerns are voiced by aviators.

Obviously it might be that approach angles, solar height are different, but it just caught my attention. Thanks again to Enaire for confirming my report as always.

QSL NDB EEC-327 Sevilla/El Copero

June 19, 2025 / / 0 Comments

EEC on 327 kHz is a NDB for the military heliport El Copero near Sevilla, Spain. As with EAG and EAL . Enaire (QSL via informacion(at)enaire.es) could confirm my reception report but without their usual data sheet as it is a military installation. It is definitely not one of the easier beacons to log, with only 88 entries in the REU database, so I am pretty pleased with this QSL!

NDB con indicativo EEC:

  • Ubicado en el Helipuerto de Sevilla/El Copero. Instalación perteneciente al Ejército que da apoyo a los procedimientos instrumentales del Helipuerto de Sevilla/El Copero
  • Frecuencia 327.000 kHz
  • Coordenadas publicadas en AIP. ETRS89: 37º18’43.4”N   006º00’07.3”W

Heliport at the “El Copero” military airbase near Sevilla

Originally “El Copero” (which translates as Cup Bearer in English) was a base of the Spanish Air Force but due to the proximity of the river and possible flooding the location wasn’t optimal. The base was transferred to the Army on December 30, 1975. and is home to the units of the Maneuver Helicopter Battalion IV (BHELMA IV), of the FAMET that has assigned 16 Eurocopter AS332B1 Super Puma .
