Coast FM "Tenerife's official British Radio Station"


Just has a QSL received from Coast FM "Tenerife's official British Radio Station". i heard them on 6285kHz on 1st April so fairly prompt response. i also received a bumper sticker. the station only has a 600W TX but no details available on the antenna. I'm in the UK, using a Lowe HF 250 RX and a 20m longwire. they also have a 500W TX on 4025kHz, which i couldn't hear.

This snippet from their website gives a bit more insight...http://www.coastfmtenerife.com/

Reception Reports


Our shortwave service is run on a voluntary basis by our engineering team. This may result in a slow response at busy times. If you would like us to confirm reception please send your report to shortwave@coastfmtenerife.com.
 Coast FM DX Show

On Sunday from 16:00 we split our output with the Vodafone UK Top 40 broadcast on our regular FM frequencies and online. We have a special show for radio enthusiasts broadcast on our Shortwave frequencies only. This show plays a mixture of classic hit music along with confirming reception reports and other radio related news.
Interestingly my QSL was posted here in the UK.
