You ought to give the Greek MW guys a try above 1600. There's nothing but salt water and the narrow Italian peninsula between you and them.

Thanks for the tip, picking something up on 1603 (time pips at 2000z then YL) but noisy - don't think it's Spanish.  Also, less clear reception of something on 1620.  I really appreciate the tip.   8)!

I'm really stunned how CRI blankets this region.  You can pick it up virtually 24 hours a day in English plus a dozen other languages.  Far more coverage than in US.
