Translated from Spanish:
Radio Elche 1539 has been on carrier wave for days, broadcasting nothing but static.
R. Renascença Chaves 1251 has also been on a carrier wave for weeks! The other transmitter on 1251 (Castelo Branco) has been off for months (almost a year) due to a malfunction.
R. Renascença Seixal 963 seems to be coming in slightly better lately.
Antenna 1 Lamego 756 is broadcasting with very low audio and loud periodic crackling.

With the sale of its sister FM’s set to close shortly, El Dorado Broadcasters pulled the plug on News/Talk 560 KBLU Yuma AZ on Saturday evening.
El Dorado agreed to sell Country 95.1 KTTI and Classic Hits “100.9 The River” KQSR Yuma in November to K-Love Inc. for $375,000 with the deal set to close in mid-March.
The 560 allocation in Yuma launched in 1940, while KBLU signed on in 1959 on 1320. A corporate merger in 1969 led to the KBLU IP replacing KYUM on 560. In 2005, then-owner Clear Channel briefly attempted to relocate the station to the Las Vegas market.
KBLU most recently featured a local morning show hosted by Russ Clark and syndicated programming the rest of the day. Clark will continue his show on Facebook.

Iran

Tonight (01.03.2026) Radio Iran (558 kHz), Radio Farhang (585 kHz), Radio Gilan (657 kHz) and Radio Tehran (1332) were broadcasted the same program.

IRIB Ilam missed completely (Or it just was a bad propagation).
R. Quran, R. Maaref, R. Payam aired their own programs.

Update on 2QN AM to FM conversion.
Latest info I have is that 1521am will be retained (for fringe area coverage) whilst allowing 2QN to broadcast on 106.1 for the main Deniliquin area. This seems a significant shift in ACMA policy allowing broadcasters to keep the AM (it NOT really being an AM to FM conversion in the true sense).

Today a new LPAM (low-power AM) started on 900 kHz in the Netherlands. Veluwse Ether Veteranen was heard in Finland around 16-17 utc. Power is 35 watts. Thank you Arend Westra and Koert Seinen for the hint!
