Album AM test
Due to the failure of pirate radio station Radio North, the legal Dutch LPAM radio station Album AM 846, will remain on air this evening (24/2) and night (25/2) for DXing purposes.
A Morse ID jingle will be played every minute.

If Radio North unexpectedly comes back on the air and interferes with Album AM, Album AM will use an LSB offset of e.g. 2 kHz to still be able to DX. The listener can listen to the stream in HiFi stereo at https://radionorth.co.uk/ .

Mollman Media is making changes at its Lawton OK cluster.
Adult R&B “Heart & Soul1050 KXCA/93.7 K229DG Lawton has begun simulcasting on 1380 KKRX/96.7 K244DW Lawton in preparation of moving over to the new frequencies as it replaces Sports “The Ticket” airing CBS Sports Radio. A new format will debut soon on KXCA.
“Heart & Soul” continues to feature Reach Media’s Rickey Smiley Morning Show, Dawn Perkins in middays, Blue Tag Media’s Jeff Foxx Show in afternoons, and Oceanic Tradewinds’ Frank Ski at night.

Mongolia

As of 2235 UTC, Mongolia on 164 kHz hasn’t shown up on any of the three Russian SDRs currently online.
The carrier was barely visible, much weaker than usual when I checked at around 1200 UTC today. 
I will check again tomorrow and report back.

Space Weather

TWO MAJOR SOLAR FLARES: Giant sunspot AR3590 just unleashed two major X-class solar flares. The double blast approximately coincided with a widely-reported outage of cell phone service; however, experts agree that the flares were probably not responsible. More flares are in the offing. The sunspot has an unstable ‘delta-class’ magnetic field, and it is turning toward Earth. Full story @ Spaceweather.com

Cyprus

I noticed 603 kHz and 963 kHz from Cybc  Nicosia Cyprus has been off for a few days now. 
No mention in the press off any technical problems. 
But the FM Cybc Cyprus all working.

Hello everyone. Is it possible for you to transmit on a Dutch AM-frequency in August 2024? Because it is then 50 years ago after 31 August 1974. You can request for a temporarily license for this on https://www.rdi.nl/onderwerpen/radio-en-televisie/commerciele-omroep/evenementenradio 
But it is also possible to request for a license for a period of more years on 
https://www.rdi.nl/onderwerpen/radio-en-televisie/commerciele-omroep/laagvermogen-middengolf 
RNI will then back on air, just as Radio Veronica, Radio Mi Amigo, Radio Caroline, Radio London (only online on https://www.bigl.co.uk/ ), Radio Seagull and Radio Monique.
And see now also https://www.rniradio.net/ and https://www.rni220.nl/ 

@ Radio M. Is het mogelijk om deze e-mail door te kunnen sturen naar Klaas van Onselen (Peter Holland)? Want hij heeft tot april 2020 voor Radio M gewerkt. (en destijds voor RNI)

@ Tony Berk. Is het mógelijk voor je om dan op die verkregen AM-frequentie dan net zoals vanaf de ‘MEBO II’ weer prijsbewust te gaan presenteren? 

Greetings of Nico from Gouda, the Netherlands. 🙂(2024-02-20)
