Spain at S5, Sounding Like S9

[soemand]

Radio Exterior de España on 17,715 kHz is rolling in today with that rare shortwave magic: an S5 signal that sounds absolutely pristine. No flutter, no fade, just clean, steady audio riding the bands like it owns them. Moments like this remind you why tuning the dial never gets old.

Meanwhile, the ionosphere isn’t quite hot enough to pull in the BBC relay from Ascension Island on 17,670 kHz, which is not getting through the noise. Funny how the bands pick their favourites.
