The mediumwave transmitter of COPE Gijón was closed down in September 2023. The station had been broadcasting on mediumwave for 90 years. More about the closure ans the history of the station on this web page.
COPE Gijón used to be a fairly common visitor on 882 kHz at Lista, even though there was at times heavy interference from co-channel BBC Radio Wales. It was definitely the most common of several other COPE stations on this frequency.
My attempts to get a reply from the station have all been in vain. After seeing another DX-er getting a reply from neighbouring COPE Oviedo, I decided to give this a try too. And voila: After a couple of days I received an e-mail from Oviedo confirming my reception of COPE Gijón from March 2023. The city of Gijón is located in the northern Asturias province and has a population of roughly 280.000 inhabitants.
