828 Antena 1 Açores, Monte das Cruzes, Flores Island. The last observation I could find in my logs was back in February, 2024, so I estimated the silence would be translated in another suppression of a [MF] site. The information I got yesterday contradicted my fears.
The monopole needed repair, and that job was done… but after tests the tx developped a problem, meaning another team will have to fly with all the equipment need to put the unit into shape, which is expected to happen sometime this month of November. This outlet covers not just the island of Flores but also the neighbouring island of Corvo, and is said its signal reach most of the archipelago. As to the other Antena 1 Açores MF outlets, the technician I spoke to confirmed there are no plans to use MF again, and ditto regarding Antena 1 Madeira.
