** Personal 'First'

97.2 was the one that got away. The phone-in heard was the same as aired on SER stations, but I remember somebody saying that other networks may rebroadcast certain chat programmes overnight. It's the first time I have received Spain on 97.2. I have never received a Spanish station on 97.2 even when in Cornwall, so an interesting one.

Good DX!
