Caribbean Radio Lighthouse 1160 kHz.
From their website:
Our AM (medium wave) station broadcasts with a 10,000-watt Nautel ND-10 solid-state transmitter feeding a 212-foot (65m), 1/4-wave antenna. This is located near sea level in a valley about one-half mile from the Caribbean coast. The FM transmitter is a Crown FM 250 with an FM2000 RF amplifier feeding a 2-bay SWR FMEC circularly polarized antenna. The antenna is mounted on a 40-foot tower at Mount Obama (formerly Boggy Peak), at an elevation of 1319 feet (402m). STLs (studio-transmitter links) are Armstrong XLink for AM (350 MHz) and for FM (344 & 346 MHz).

Per the stations’s website:
Arctic 252 – 252 kHz Longwave – Inari, Finland.
We begin where others have ended, longwave lives on.
Arctic 252 started as a project in the Spring of 2024. With the decline in LW broadcasts it was mostly with nostalgia the project was born. The challenge was to see if the viability of small-scale private broadcasting on LW could work.
WANTED: OPTIMOD AM PROCESSOR!
252 kHz was the former home of Finland’s YLE longwave station from Lahti that was switched off in 1993.
Arctic 252 is now broadcasting (I’m not sure if it’s broadcasting currently – Mike) marking the return to LW for Finland after 32 years. The first broadcast on 252 kHz was on the 9th August 2025 that consisted of test tones. August 24th marked the first time audio programming had been broadcast on LW from Arctic 252.
The station’s format has been through many discussions and a few people have come and gone regarding programming involvement. As with many projects things change and evolve so to that respect there will be an all-round music format with various programmes of general interest. We will also cater for DXers and the radio community.
Content creators/DJs – we are looking for content from around the world please get in touch to be part of programming.
Arctic has applied for a new LW frequency and awaits the ITU’s decision……
Huge thanks to those who have been supportive and helping make the return to LW possible.
Arctic 252 merchandise coming eventually…..

Caribbean Radio Lighthouse 1160 New Transmitter.
Last week, the new AM Radio Transmitter finally arrived! Much preliminary work has already been done with the help of the Chafas from tech2proclaim. Please continue to pray for the installation and transition, which is scheduled for May 14.

XECPTB-1630 is running test transmissions this afternoon, presumably at 10kW. They had been silent since their old (XEUT) license expired in October of 2022. Slogans are “Radio UABC” and “UABC Radio.” They are giving a multi-station ID which still uses their old call letters (XEUT).

For the past few days, Radio Activa (AM 680) – the station that had been broadcasting from the town of Glew, in the Almirante Brown district of Buenos Aires province – has ceased to be received on this frequency. It should be noted that, since the beginning of 2026, Radio 26 de Julio (“R26”) had been heard on that frequency, having apparently chosen to broadcast there instead of on its usual frequency of 1580 kHz. As we have already reported on this blog, a few weeks ago, the station’s call sign “Radio Activa” suddenly began to be heard again on 680 kHz. This station had first begun broadcasting on that frequency in mid-2021, but soon left the airwaves, only to return in mid-2022, before going off the air again a few weeks later. Furthermore, RADIO 26 DE JULIO is also not audible on either 680 or 1580 kHz, nor via streaming; furthermore, its website (www.r26dejulioam1580.com.ar) has disappeared and its Facebook page appears to be out of date, which is why it is believed to have ceased broadcasting – at least for the time being.

Me informan que COPE Córdoba onda media (1215 kHz) ha dejado de existir. Sin avisos ni despedidas, han dejado de emitir y han desmontado la antena en tiempo récord.
I’ve been told that COPE Córdoba on the medium wave (1215 kHz) has ceased broadcasting. Without any warning or farewell, they’ve stopped broadcasting and taken down the antenna in record time.

Radio Caroline – update
POWERED BY THE SUN – AND THEN SOME!
648 SOLAR CAPACITY HITS A NEW PEAK
We have some ‘bright’ news about our 648 AM transmitter site at Orfordness. A while ago, we acquired a batch of additional solar panels – some were installed immediately, while others were kept in reserve to
meet our 10-12KW requirement.
On 21st April, our transmitter engineer Alan Beech, together with Mike Finney and Mark from our landlords Cobra Mist, and listeners Dave and Paul who are qualified electricians, got to work connecting those remaining spare panels.
This time we brought online our second 20KW inverter, which was installed late last year but not connected. We currently have 60 panels on the original inverter and 24 panels on the second and plan to add at least another 20 panels in a few months.
The results were immediate! By the time they finished, the solar power meter on our website was reading 16KW. The following day, under a clear sunny sky, the reading went completely off the scale!
What this means for Radio Caroline:
Major Savings: We are further reducing our energy costs, ensuring the station’s future is as sustainable as possible.
Expansion: We aren’t stopping here. We will be ordering more panels – up to the maximum capacity our inverters can handle – to eventually generate in excess of 30KW.
Giving Back: While we may need this extra power for our own transmitter in the future, we are currently feeding excess power back to Cobra Mist. It’s our way of saying thank you to a team that always goes far beyond the call of duty to help us at the transmitter site.
As always, solar power is weather-dependent, so the power generated will depend on the clouds and the time of day.
Want to see the sun at work in real-time? Check out our live solar power meter on the home page of the website.
This project is thanks to the generosity of you, our supporters.

Radio Caroline – Service Message
Thur 23 April.
Keen eyed web watchers will notice that our additional solar generation is now working, and that our web solar meter is sometimes off the scale.
Once we have observed for a few days we will re-scale the meter, but for now it is good to see so much power from the sun.
We are already planning to add even more panels this summer with major thanks to your ongoing support and generosity.
