I'm not picking them up tonight, that's unusual.  Maybe reduced power or non-directional.

Shortwave Broadcast / REE Celta Vigo v Man U 15390/15520/17715/17855 am 1955 UTC 4 May 2017

« on: May 04, 2017, 2006 UTC »

Excellent reception on 15520 & 17855, Good reception on 15390 and 17715...in Spanish (I guess you can never have too much soccer coverage  ).  Surprisingly, caught pre-match and start while at work at 1845z.

1st Leg Europa League (think NIT of European Soccer, the secondary tournament) Semifinal between Celta Vigo v Manchester United.  Spanish clubs have had much success during the 2010's winning five of the last seven Europa League Championships and four of the last six Champion League titles.  They have a shot a winning both again this year, so REE has had much midweek soccer to broadcast.  Currently live at half time from Vigo, Galicia, Spain.

1955z Two OM's with first half analysis Celta Vigo nil, Manchester United nil.
2007z Start of second half.
2010z near goal for Celta.
2025z Rashford with a shot over cross bar for United.
2028z Rashford with free kick goal for United, now 0-1.
2036z Jozabed substituted in for Celta, followed by a near goal for United.
2047z Martial in for Rashford - Rashford hurt?
2057z Match over 0-1.
