ACTIVE SUNSPOT ALERT: After weeks of relative quiet, the sun is flaring again. A new sunspot has emerged, and it is crackling with strong explosions. An M8-class event this morning puts us on the threshold of powerful X-class activity. Full story @ Spaceweather.com.

CJMR 1320 has returned to the air in the Greater Toronto Area. They are testing, playing south Asian music and identifying the city as Mississauga Ontario (it was formally Oakville). Power is not known but estimated to be 10kWs. It is unclear at this time if transmitter site is at CJMRs old location or somewhere else.

4VL/t 1584khz Cunnamulla QLD
Went out for a band capture last night (19th August) after a hiatus of over a month due to the coldest of winter. Noted the 4VL/t for Cunnamulla is still absent (1st noted absent in June). Not sure why as to the prolonged outage. In comparing 918khz 4VL’s main frequency with the song playing, no match could be heard in the mix on 1584.

Traficom Finland has confirmed that Alfa Media Group, which was granted a radio broadcasting license for the medium-wave frequency of 963 kHz, has not commenced broadcasting; consequently, the license has lapsed. Traficom confirmed the lapse of the license last week.
The old 600 kW 963 kHz radio transmitter in Pori was in such poor condition that it could not be repaired.

The 710 kHz channel in Medellín, Colombia, is now occupied by Fuego AM, which has its main offices and also broadcasts in Bogotá on 1130 kHz.

“NMA Al-Barnameg al-Aam” was on with the usual distorted signal, then went off air at 0803 UTC today (16.08.2026). Monitored on a KiwiSDR in Cyprus, here: http://cyp.twrmon.net:8073

Just a reminder that Kiss AM will be testing on 1593 kHz from 2100 utc or maybe before.

Premier Christian Radio from London usually dominates the 1305 kHz frequency. Today, however, this station cannot be heard; instead, a rare signal from Egypt can be picked up. NMA Al-Barnameg al-Aam from Asyut, with its 10 kW transmitter, was clearly audible in Salzburg at 20 UT with the announcement “Huna al-Qahira” (This is Cairo), its well-known station music and the news.
