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

[Luís Carvalho]

Vila Boim, não. O tx de Elvas (720 kHz) está bem longe da dita vila. A
designação oficial, mesmo na RTP, é "Caia". De qualquer forma, com efeito,
o sinal da RNE Badajoz escuta-se satisfatoriamente em grande parte da
região Sul, do Alentejo ao Algarve, pelo que não vai ser fácil escutar de
forma limpa a R. Caroline. Diria que, num vulgar rx e desprovido de uma
antena bastante direccional, sintonizar a R. Caroline nos 648 kHz entre
Évora e Elvas vai ser um grande desafio.

Cumprimentos e bons 73s,

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.
