Radio Exterior de Espaņa off air due to power outage?
« on: April 28, 2025, 1838 UTC »

I have been trying to receive REE in the 18 UTC hour, which booms in here daily, without success on 9690, 17715, and 17755.  I'm guessing the Iberian Penisula power outage is to blame.
Tecsun H501x (broadcast received on this unless noted), Zenith T/O G500, Zenith T/O Royal 7000, Emerson AR-176, Zenith 8S154, T/O 7G605 (Bomber), Tecsun PL-600, Tecsun PL-880, Zenith 5S320, Realistic DX 160 using 40 feet of copper wire.  With apologies to Senator Gramm for his thoughts on firearms, "I have more radios than I need but not as many as I want."
QTH:  Durham, Connecticut (rural setting, 15 miles north of Long Island Sound)
qsl please to:  jamcanner@comcast.net  (Thank you)
