face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">When we get stations coming in strongly
from places like Spain - that's usually caused by sporadic-E. It's a
phenomenon where signals bounce off ionized clouds and can last minutes or
just seconds. Last month I heard a station from Morocco on FM stronger than
our local Heart in Dorset sitting in my car. This is different from the
tropospheric effect where French stations start coming in loud and clear.
Works both ways though - we got a report of being heard in Sweden on 92.3 via
sporadic E.
