𝑮7𝑰𝙕𝑼 𝑹𝙍𝑫<p>I have to say I am sceptical about this double-hop report from Spain, because the station reported is a networked station BBC Radio 2, which has numerous transmitters on the same frequency. My guess is he was hearing the transmitter at Sutton Coldfield which is at a similar distance to his other reception reports.</p><p>Again, I could be wrong because he is also reporting hearing BBC Radio Scotland... </p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/radiopropagation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>radiopropagation</span></a></p>
