Hi all.

While investigating possible REIN on a customers broadband last Friday, I had the van radio tuned to 612KHz MW, as it is often possible to hear some types of interference.
This frequency is usually quiet, but on this occasion a Spanish station was coming in quite clearly. I didn't understand a word of it of course.
Has anyone noticed a change in receiving conditions during the latest period of this awful weather?
For all I know this might be nothing remarkable, but I haven't heard it before, or indeed any MW station from that far south.

Location Knook, Near Codford St.Mary Wiltshire
Time about 15.30
