234 kHz
Although, another person reported that that was a test and there will be no more broadcasts from that site because the transmitter is broken.
Is anybody here who can confirm?

Algeria on 153 kHz is booming into the Midwest tonight. Easy arm chair copy at 9:43 PM EST (Indiana). Actually all of the LW-AM stations are very loud tonight.

Re. Country Radio‘s closure.
Is it known what happens to the TESLA transmitters in Zbraslav?
Will they be saved or will they be scrapped?
