Well, it does look OK on Karelian Beverages 🇫🇮, with Korea actually mixing w/ VOA Radio Ashna via Dushanbe🇹🇯

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 networks.

While my reception of Gold is generally poor due to strong directional pattern of Saffeon Green tx, it'll be sorely missed 😢

Looks like Miniwatt just greeted a few other Greek operators, including Zeppelin, known from 😅

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.

Been a month or maybe a bit more since I reported a reactivation of Radio Romania Actualitati transmitter in Constanta on 1458 kHz... but since then, they did finally add that audio processor 🤠

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 🇸🇦

This reception caught in Coimbatore🇮🇳. 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 🐢

Reactivation not reported at mediumwave.info yet, although mwlist already has 2 logs from ruZZia & Spain, both dated May 4.

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 😵 and I'm still hearing some splatter from 1467 Saudi on a KAZ aiming more or less right towards Constanta 😳

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 sites en masse

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 😅

By this moment (1942z), SER San Sebastián 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, score is 0:0; Barca wins 1:0 on aggregate

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 🕌 LPAM in Leicester🇬🇧, 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! 🎧

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 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!

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 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 😩 0500z nx, 0502z morning hosts say hello, not a special one to "new" Scottiah listeners LOL 1161 kHz

OK, let's skip a bit over to . 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 😳

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? youtube.com/watch?v=0fXZT8ucZH
