Armiya FM
Yes, 809.6v now at 1637z, seemingly own program. (Many UA TV and radio stations united/feeded with common prog these days).

Ukrainian radio has launched three new medium-wave transmitters.
Since the beginning of Russia’s open aggression against Ukraine, the Ukrainian Radio of the National Public Television and Radio Company of Ukraine has launched three new medium-wave transmitters.
Thus, today there are four transmitters in Ukraine that provide a reliable signal of Ukrainian radio in the medium-wave range:
549 AM
Dnipropetrovsk region
Zaporozhye region
Kherson region
Mykolaiv region
Odessa region
Kirovograd region
Vinnytsia region
Cherkasy region
Crimea
1404 AM (new)
The southern part of the Odessa region
657 AM (new)
Chernivtsi region
Part of Ivano-Frankivsk region
873 AM (new)
Luhansk region
Donetsk region
Thanks to the expansion of broadcasting in the medium-wave range, the signal of Ukrainian Radio can now be heard by all residents of these areas, including small towns, which do not reach the signal of existing FM transmitters.
In addition, on medium waves, the signal of the Ukrainian Radio can be heard without hindrance while driving on the territory of the areas covered by the signal.
According to the technical specialists of Ukrainian Radio, almost all radio receivers that people have today, from the oldest to the newest models, operate in the medium-wave range.
It will be recalled that medium waves are a range of radio waves with a frequency from 300 kHz (wavelength 1000 m) to 3 MHz (wavelength 100 m). Medium waves are able to propagate over long distances due to the bending of the earth’s surface, as well as reflected from the ionosphere at night (i.e. at night, the medium-wave signal is stronger).
Since the beginning of Russia’s open aggression against Ukraine, Ukrainian Radio has been broadcasting around the clock, providing listeners with the most up-to-date and accurate information on the course of hostilities and the country’s defense. Round-the-clock hosts of Ukrainian Radio broadcast live representatives of central and local authorities, heads of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and military analysts with the most up-to-date data on the situation on the front and in the cities of the country.
Ukrainian Radio is the largest FM network and the most popular broadcast radio in the country with an average daily coverage of almost one million radio listeners. In Kyiv, it broadcasts on 105 FM. You can find out FM frequencies in other cities by following the link. All channels of the Public Radio have switched to the transmission of the Ukrainian Radio signal, they can be listened to in the mobile application suspilne.radio and on the website ukr.radio.

The TERMINATION EVENT has arrived:
Something big just happened on the sun. Solar physicists Scott McIntosh (NCAR) and Bob Leamon (U. Maryland-Baltimore County) call it “The Termination Event.”
“Old Solar Cycle 24 has finally died–it was terminated!” says McIntosh. “Now the new solar cycle, Solar Cycle 25, can really take off.”
The “Termination Event” is a new idea in solar physics, outlined by McIntosh and Leamon in a December 2020 paper in the journal Solar Physics. Not everyone accepts it–yet. If Solar Cycle 25 unfolds as McIntosh and Leamon predict, the Termination Event will have to be taken seriously.

Hi Glenn,
IRRS: 7290 & 1323
We focused more on raising power on MW 1323 kHz lately to cover Ukraine, eastern Russia and Belarus (besides the rest of Central and Northern Europe). I confirm our commitment on 7290 kHz Shortwave for one hour in the evening from 20-21 CET.
Our program schedule had been adjusted slightly to allow new programs from 19-23:10 (approx) CET and added more news coverage on 1323 kHz.
We may have to move WOR slightly as airtime is filling up due to special programs beamed to the new war zone, regretfully. Will update you on this.

UA Suspilne movnik status update — several AM frequencies now in use.
Quick check upon the situation of Ukrainian Public Broadcaster – central program from last night (28 feb –> 1 mar) :

549 kHz good, especially strong after 21:00 CET  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPOCY9jqctw
657 kHz fair, suffering from Rai which was active again last night after 1:00 although it was supposed to be off! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR-8L2NXo9A
1404 kHz, strong but gets swamped out by RR Actualitati https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpaLjGnPm-c
873 kHz, vy. weak and only ID by compared with the others.
549 is running first, the others have a slight delay between 1 and 2 sec.

So I can confirm all four frequencies being on air!  (but 837 is off)
