Translated from Spanish:
I inform you that La Voz de la Nostalgia broadcasts its open signal on 1530 kHz from Medellin-Colombia. This is a station on the Jupiter Chain. Let us remember that this dial was occupied until recently as a repeater signal being tested by its sister station La Voz de Antioquia 1080 kHz.

Vietnam

Since July 1, the Voice of Vietnam (VOV) has broadcast news and current affairs as well as culturaland social programs on medium wave from the North Central Broadcasting Station.

Specifically, VOV1 programs are aired on the frequency of 630Khz and VOV2 programs on the frequency of 729Khz with each frequency’s broadcast duration of 19 hours and 15 minutes a day, from 4.45 a.m to midnight.

VOV’s Vice President Vu Hai Quang said: “The north-central region has a strategic position in term of economics, politics, culture, society, and national security. Our survey found that communication methods in this area are still limited. People access information mainly by listening to the radio, especially those in remote and ethnic areas. To strengthen communication of the Party guidelines and the State laws and raise people’s general knowledge, VOV and the People’s Committee of Quang Binh province have relocated the North Central Broadcasting Station from Dong Hoi city center to the suburban area.”

After the trial, VOV has officially relayed programs of VOV1 and VOV2 since July 1, covering Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Quang Tri, part of Thua Thien Hue province and the Vietnam-Laos border area. VOV broadcasts also cover north-central sea areas and the Gulf of Tonkin.

Short internet connection…
We are well. prayers best help now.
Much will be needed to rebuild in the coming months.
Still digging out of the rubble.

The DXer

Not exactly MW but a nice input to all us DXers / Ed.

“In the stillness of the night, beneath the moon’s soft glow,  
A man with a radio, his heart begins to flow.  
With coffee in hand and a half-eaten bite,  
He tunes into the waves that travel through the night.

He’s a DX-er, chasing signals in the dark,  
From continents afar, he catches every spark.  
From South America to the Asian seas,  
His heart beats faster with every distant breeze.

From the coasts of Australia to Africa’s distant shore,  
Through the static and the silence, he yearns to hear more.  
Central America whispers secrets in his ear,  
North America’s echoes bring the world near.

He’s a DX-er, chasing signals in the dark,  
From continents afar, he catches every spark.  
From the Pacific’s depths to the ancient lands,  
His joy is boundless with every distant band.

In the soft light, he waits, his patience holds strong,  
For that distant call, he’s waited so long.  
The thrill of a QSL, a confirmation so true,  
A card in his hand, a dream come through.

Through the quiet hum of his trusty machine,  
He dances through frequencies, in a world unseen.  
Each station a story, each call a friend,  
The world in his hands, no need for an end.

So he sits in the night, with a smile so wide,  
A DX-er forever, with the world by his side.  
With coffee and a sandwich, in the soft, dim light,  
He’ll chase those distant dreams, all through the night.”
