From Saturday, April 29, 2023, Radio Seabreeze in Grou for the north of the Netherlands on AM 1395 and in Laren for the center of the Netherlands on AM 1098.

Radio Seabreeze in Laren will move from 1395KHz to 1098KHz. Radio Seabreeze currently has two transmitters on the air on 1395KHz and because this sometimes causes interference in the area where the transmitters overlap, the transmitter in Laren is going to 1098KHz. This should lead to a significant improvement, particularly in North Holland, Flevoland and parts of Overijssel.

On 1485, there is a continuous beeping, it looks like it is part of an AM modulation. It is very strong and audible via many SDRs in Germany and NL.

In Eastern Europe, it looks like it is less strong. For me it looks like it comes from Western Germany/Benelux.

WMNA 730.
Saul Chernos posted this just now on FB, anyone closer to confirm format switch?

“730 WMNA VA Gretna is listed as sports and even maintains a web site with that running on its stream. But I am almost certain I heard an ID amidst southern gospel that included 104.3 in the ID. I found the following FB item from 2021…

Someone closer to there might be able to figure out this in more definitive fashion…
WMNA has been heard here before…in 2011 with a local sports game live.”

I can verify that 730 WMNA Gretna is now Country Gospel.

ANOTHER CME IS COMING: NOAA forecasters say that minor G1-class geomagnetic storms are possible on April 27th when a CME is expected to hit Earth’s magnetic field. It was hurled into space on April 24th by an explosion in the sun’s southern hemisphere. Most of the CME will sail south of Earth, but its northern flank will probably touch our planet.
