All India Radio Rajkot sendet seit einiger Zeit auf Mittelwelle 1071 kHz wieder in AM anstatt DRM und ist gegen 18 UT in Salzburg zu hören. In den kommenden Wochen sollte das Signal noch stärker werden.
G33/CSO, Single K9AY, 20mt.

Unexpectedly, a CME hit Earth’s magnetic field today, Aug. 30th at 1920 UT; it was a glancing blow. This appears to be yet another CME launched by departing sunspot AR3088 near the edge of the Earth strike zone. Minor G1-class geomagnetic storms are possible in response to its arrival.

Today at 18.45 UTC in Pesaro (central Italy) on KHz 1548, I was able to listen to TWR Europe (romanian). The same Station on KHz 1539 (not reported in www.mwlist.org/mwlist_quick_and_easy.php.).

Kalundborg 243 kHz. Today at 0400 UTC the transmitter was still on reduced power, but at 0800 back on full power, it seems. (re: https://mediumwave.info/2022/08/28/denmark-40/)
The transmitter in Kalundborg was inaugurated on August 29th, 1927 and is still on air four times a day.

Deletions.
The two Wilmington NC area AMs and one translator owned by James Utley Jr’s CLI Radio Inc. have been deleted by the FCC. 1180 WLTT Carolina Beach and 1490 WWIL/104.9 W285FQ Wilmington have both been off the air since Utley’s death in September 2020, never filing an STA or ownership change with the agency.
After going dark at the end of 2020 when Beasley Media Group sold its tower site to a local real estate developer, the license for 1660 WJBX (formerly WBCN) Charlotte NC has been cancelled by the FCC.

I was able to listen to AIR Suratgarh here in Salzburg this evening after 18 UT with an extended programme on 918 kHz for the Asia Cup which has just started.
The Asia Cup 2022 is the 15th edition of the cricket competition for Asian national teams and will be played in the United Arab Emirates between 27 August and 11 September 2022 in the Twenty20 format.

Kalundborg 243 kHz.
It has been observed that the transmitter seems to be on reduced power.
Btw – tomorrow is the station’s 95th birthday. Hip hip hooray!

Radio Panj 1521. This station seems to have technical problems today.
At 0945 utc a very low level distorted audio stream can be heard on a seemingly normal carrier. But during news at 1000utc the audio level improved but audio is rough sounding and sibilant.
