Felly sgrifennodd Paul C :
Here in Troon, I use two stations as beacons for trop
conditions. On 87.8 there is Lyric FM from the Irish Republic and on
105.4 there is a station whose name escapes me (Century FM?), from
Winter Hill near Bolton. When I can hear them, there is a tropo lift!

Are you sure you're not just hearing the ground wave for Lyric FM? I
regularly listen to Lyric FM (on 98.7 here) and am probably just over
100 miles from the transmitter, most of which is sea. Likewise you have
mostly sea between you and Donegal.
