Update regarding my 1530 mystery UNID (https://mediumwave.info/2026/09/06/unid-53/):
I heard ‘something’ again on 1530 last night:
2026-09-13 23:01:56 … 23:03:56 Music1 incl. ID 1
2026-09-13 23:03:23 … 23:03:34 ID 1
2026-09-13 23:04:47 … 23:05:19 Music 2
2026-09-13 23:06:14 … 23:06:51 Music 3
2026-09-13 23:10:28 … 23:12:07 ID2 + Music
2026-09-13 23:13:03 … 23:14:58 Music 4
2026-09-13 23:20:08 … 23:21:15 Music 5
2026-09-13 23:22:07 … 23:22:45 ID 3 (vf) + “The Best Rock Radio, broadcasting…?” (vm)
The quality is extremely low, the signal (or at least the modulation) too weak for the noise level here.
I listened to all barely audible portions mentioned above, and only the ‘ID 1’ is somewhat intelligible.
But I could not get more out of it than the female voice ID “Radio – – – -, listen to us on Mediumwave – Music and Much More”.
I have attached the short audio clip with the original.
Maybe you have an idea what this might mean.

UPDATE Unid 1530 kHz
To me it sounds a bit like “Radio Rollercoaster“, but the second word really sounds more like “concert”, if I had to transcribe it: doesn’t make any sense!
I found nothing on the web in this respect and with a link to mediumwave or even 1530.
The attached longer clip is even weaker, the female ann. barely audible at sec. 6, followed by a brief instrumental interlude after sec. 12 and a male “rock radio” announcement, the rest is not really intelligible, but probably “broadcasting on mediumwave” and then other sounds before fading into noise. Either the QSB is deep or they have modulation / transmitter issues, with only such few portions with some audio found in an almost 90 minutes recording.
But I have to say it’s possible that their carrier is not the only one we see as the lower brighter signal in my formerly sent spectrogram. So potentially, since there was audible carrier beating at times, their signal and another one (Funchal?) are both quite well tuned and hard to visually distinguish.
And in fact, looking at the high-resolution spectrogram (just made, attached!), it looks as if their carrier is only ON from 2300z (minute 44 of the recording) and stops again about 23 minutes later! And the traces of modulation, just measured it, actually belong to the lower temporary carrier. Thus it could just be some brief technical tests (maybe with transmitter issues) or a pirate who wants to make believe it’s a regular station but only dares being active for a few minutes each time…
