 Camagüey Cuba MW review
As some of you on the list have ask me about the MW AM stations I will compile a sample of observations for a few days on this thread for you.
Starting right now. For all the test I used SDRplay RSP1 + vertical antenna of 7m + base tuner (bypassed) and Gqrx on Ubuntu Linux.

Active Tx sites on my side as of now: Oct2, 2026 ~10:00am local 14:00 UTC
– 630 [usually R. Progreso] long time no see, it there with a steady carrier and no audio, just some peeps from time to time like feedback starters but contained
– 670 [usually R. Cadena Agramonte, recently Radio Rebelde] same, strong carrier no audio, just static noise like a bad plug with a low AC hum
– 950 [R. Reloj] strong carrier with no audio and static noise, some random peaks of feedback-like starters from time to time
– 1141 [1140 +1 Radio Camaguey during the day and back to R. Cadena Agramonte] los carrier (this is a city transmitter, not province one) no audio rhythmic static noise
– 1180 [R. Rebelde] Strong signal, audio sounds over driven

A 5 minute waterfall integration SDR picture can be checked here:

Note: the same paced interval peaks on the waterfall is an artifact from my PC-Monitor combo + interference from the AC inverter

It appears that Bergen Kringkaster will now also broadcast on 630 kHz, given that 630, 1314, and 5895 kHz are now available to anyone wishing to apply for the frequencies.

Oldies 1510 WMEX/101.1 W266DQ Quincy/Boston MA ceased operations today.
The shutdown follows a sale of the station to Tyler Nye’s Local Media Boston and short-lived shift from Oldies to Classic Hits. Since returning to Oldies, it has relied on programming from the syndicated “True Oldies Channel“.

The station posted the following message on its website:

“Today, September 30, 2026, marks the final day of broadcasting for WMEX.
As we sign off, we want to say something that can never be said enough: thank you.

Thank you to every listener who tuned in over the years—whether you listened every day, joined us on your drive to work, turned us up at home, discovered us online, or simply stopped on the dial and stayed awhile. You gave WMEX a reason to be on the air.

Radio has always been about more than transmitters, studios, music, and microphones. It is about the connection created between a station and the people listening on the other side. It is about being part of a community, sharing moments together, and creating memories through the music and voices coming out of the speakers.

To everyone who has been part of WMEX over the years—our listeners, personalities, staff, advertisers, partners, friends, and supporters—thank you for being part of our story.

There have been countless songs played, conversations shared, requests made, contests won, laughs had, and memories created. While the broadcast may end, those memories remain.

It has been our privilege to have a place on your radio dial and, more importantly, to have been welcomed into your homes, cars, workplaces, and lives.

So, as WMEX signs off for the final time, we do so with tremendous gratitude for everyone who came along for the ride.

Thank you for listening.
Thank you for supporting local radio.
Thank you for the memories.

From all of us at WMEX, it has truly been an honor.

For the final time, this is WMEX—signing off.”

MEDI 1 171 kHz
This station was broadcasting regularly until (pres) the end of the first week in September. I received a message from Jorge Jaroslavski pointing to the station without transmitting signal since at least the second week of September.
As I could monitor today, Medi 1 is off right now! Faulty Txer?

Radio Eule, the Deutsches Museum’s small 10 W medium-wave station, has now changed its transmission frequency from 1500 kHz – which is unusual in Europe – to 1494 kHz on the 9 kHz grid. The station can be heard clearly in Salzburg in the evenings on 1494.0014 kHz. It is broadcasting old episodes of Radio DARC, currently the Easter 2026 episode.
