    Is it coming in on AM or FM? Spanish radio comes in quite often on AM and LW those transmissions travel very well across sea pathways. FM only occur with Tropspheric ducting and high pressure in the summer months. DDT from Spain would only occur in extreme conditions. I was able receive French DTT last summer for a day or so.

    It would take a very extreme SpE opening to affect the UHF frequencies used by DTT

    SpE on the old VHF Band 1 and even FM radio is quite common though.

    Tropo is an entirely different phenomenon to SpE

    Tropo is actually more common and can happen in winter (during frosty weather) as well as Summer. It also affects UHF frequencies however signals generally dont travel as fat by tropo. In most parts of Ireland (bar maybe along the seaboard in the extreme South) it would be rare to get anything further than Ireland/UK via tropo
