Re: ARLA/CLUSTER: Radio Caroline tem licença para emitir em AM com 1 kW em 648 kHz

[José Eduardo]

Aqui em baixo em Vila Real de Santo António escuta-se nessa frequência o
emissor de Badajoz da RNE 1 -rádio Nacional de Espanha com qualidade
aceitável( Bem melhor que o emissor da Antena 1 de vila boim) , pelo que
vai ser difícil escutar a rádio carolina.
