VOWR (800 kHz in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada at 10/2.5 KW) is currently off air due to their radio being hit by lightning (see https://twitter.com/VOWR800/status/1429067303040307204).
VOWR is, at 97 years in the business, one of the oldest radio stations in North America.

A stream of solar wind is approaching Earth. ETA: Aug. 25th.
The gaseous material is flowing from a northern hole in the sun’s atmosphere and could cause polar geomagnetic unrest when it arrives.

Carillon Wellbeing Radio (CWR)
We have just completed a brilliant weekend broadcasting from the LV18 Light Vessel in Harwich.
According to the vessel owners its been the most successful broadcast in 21 years. A brilliant atmosphere with like minded people.
Our 1476 am frequency was used with audio linked back to Leicestershire 48 hours of solid broadcasting remembering the offshore days over 14th August. The 1476 transmissions were received by DXers across Europe and I have counted many good wishes (approx 300) on our studio desk from the weekend. This definitely proves MW is still with us.
So far our MW transmissions on 1476 have been received in Japan, India. Chile. Russia, USA (regularly), Brazil and all Euro countries many of these reports are recorded on youtube.com

Barnstaple 801 kHz transmissions have ceased and the transmitter just has a
rolling announcement telling listeners how to tune to alternative
outputs for Radio Devon.
The antenna will probably be removed.
