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

Looks like Miniwatt just greeted a few other Greek #pirateradio operators, including Zeppelin, known from #shortwave 😅 #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 🤠
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. #mediumwave #mwdx
WTF... Is that Lyca Radio with Quran/Call to Prayer underneath?! 😱😱😱 #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 😵 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 #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 😅 #ElClasico #mediumwave #mwdx
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, #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 🕌 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! 🎧 #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 😩 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 😳 #mwdx
BTW what happened to Cesky Impuls on 981? Not hearing them at all, just Algeria 😕 1062 Country Radio was fine, booming in @ S9+30dB #mediumwave #mwdx #DeathOfAMRadio?
#deathofamradio #mwdx #mediumwave
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
