Well, it does look OK on Karelian Beverages ๐ซ๐ฎ, with Korea actually mixing w/ VOA Radio Ashna via Dushanbe๐น๐ฏ #mediumwave #mwdx
BTW, did you know that since it's already Septbember, we're now officially into the final month of GOLD London on 1548 kHz?
This is a 97.5kW transmitter which originally marked the beginning of what is now known as Capital FM, one of UK's most significant #radio networks.
While my reception of Gold is generally poor due to strong directional pattern of Saffeon Green tx, it'll be sorely missed ๐ข #mediumwave #mwdx #AMradio #DeathOfAMRadio

Looks like Miniwatt just greeted a few other Greek #pirateradio operators, including Zeppelin, known from #shortwave ๐ #mediumwave #mwdx #pirate

1548 Saffron Green is actually a high-power tx (97.5kW) but it's highly directional - good signal in Spain but poor, no different to other <1-2kW UK stns, here in Poland. #mediumwave #mwdx
Been a month or maybe a bit more since I reported a reactivation of Radio Romania Actualitati #mediumwave transmitter in Constanta on 1458 kHz... but since then, they did finally add that audio processor ๐ค
In fact, the modulation on 1458 AM is now in line with other RRA freqs, particularly those "modernised" in recent months, such as 1152 kHz in Cluj-Napoca. Signal strength-wise, Constanta is a bit weaker than other transmitters, but that's to be expected due to distance.
1440 kHz: after many months, over a year and maybe two in fact, of mysterious inappearance SBA Radio Riyadh is back from Dammam ๐ธ๐ฆ
This reception caught in Coimbatore๐ฎ๐ณ. Would've caught a clearer ID if OBS wasn't stubbornly firing up for full 2 minutes on my auxiliary laptop... which actually works very sloooooowly in almost everything ๐ข
Reactivation not reported at mediumwave.info yet, although mwlist already has 2 logs from ruZZia & Spain, both dated May 4. #mediumwave #mwdx
WTF... Is that Lyca Radio with Quran/Call to Prayer underneath?! ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ #mediumwave #mwdx
Damn, I'm now listening to that newly-reactivated Romanian transmitter on 1458 kHz, and LMAO, even though it's a new txer, it's STILL lacking audio processing ๐ต and I'm still hearing some splatter from 1467 Saudi on a KAZ aiming more or less right towards Constanta ๐ณ
Valu lui Traian was the ONLY SRR tx that hadn't been awarded with an Orban or similar upgrade when they were refurbishing all their #mediumwave sites en masse #mwdx
2010z: GOLGOLGOLGOLGOLGOLLLLLLLL BENZEMA AGAIN!!!!!!!! That's 2:0/2:1 for Real Madrid, but still a lot of time in 2nd half. Goal call caught some echo on 1044kHz, looks like Valladolid has entered the chat ๐ #ElClasico #mediumwave #mwdx
By this moment (1942z), SER San Sebastiรกn on 1044 kHz improved to a usual good & steady signal. Definitely took it some time, even though their local sunset was 1839z (mine was 1711z). Meanwhile, #ElClasico score is 0:0; Barca wins 1:0 on aggregate #mediumwave #mwdx
1575 kHz (measured 1574.9835): very, VERY weak Quran, and English news just after 0500z TOH. I'm fairly convinced this is Radio Seerah, a 3W (THREE WATTS!!!!!!!!!!!!) Islamic ๐ LPAM in Leicester๐ฌ๐ง, 1607km away. Carrier measured S7 vs S2 noise but remember the audio is usually ~20dB down vs the carrier so in effect this was just on the NF. Headphones needed! ๐ง #mediumwave #mwdx
Some of it was also heard on 1107 kHz ex-MFR 2 but buried in the mess of TalkSport echoes & RNE Radio 5. I think there's one more GHR stn still active on #mediumwave but where? 1548? Dominated by GOLD. I also remember Northsound 2 on 1035, but that one closed on Apr 3 2018 - exactly 5 years ago! #mwdx
Ran an IQ recording in the morning. Loud Tay 2 --- errrm, already IDing as "Greatest Hits Radio is coming at 6am" only @ 0430z. Local ads @ 0436 & 0456z incl. dundee.co.uk/costofliving for the #inflation crisis. Who knows when you could hear the Tay 2 name the last time? 5am/0400z TOH? Anyway, 0457:40z quite lively GHR Scotland launch, but signal began to degrade at this point ๐ฉ 0500z nx, 0502z morning hosts say hello, not a special one to "new" Scottiah listeners LOL 1161 kHz #mediumwave #mwdx
OK, let's skip a bit over to #mediumwave. Condx don't seem auroral, HF seems looking good... yet I'm hearing Djibouti on 1116 kHz pretty much just like the past few auroral days ๐ณ #mwdx
BTW what happened to Cesky Impuls on 981? Not hearing them at all, just Algeria ๐ 1062 Country Radio was fine, booming in @ S9+30dB #mediumwave #mwdx #DeathOfAMRadio?

Last week, rashists announced that all power-saving measures on Pridnestrovskiy Radiotsentr (standing on an occupied part of Moldova, right on Ukrainian border) were to be scrapped, and as a result, radio roZZii on 999 kHz would be broadcast 24h/day w/ full power of 1000 kW.
A testament to the plan become reality is the fact that my UK KAZ no longer nulls them, despite it's supposed to.

Who could it be w/ S7 choral music on 1159.9959 kHz this morning just after 0400z? US stations were all (?) down already, had a few SAm carriers instead. Caribbean Radio Lighthouse from Anguilla? 10kW @ 8152km? Vs S9+5dB mix of Tay 2, soon-to-become Greatest Hits Radio Tayside, and Smooth Radio, both in the UK, on 1161? #mediumwave #mwdx https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fXZT8ucZHc
