I have been wondering for a while whether PEF Canal 1 from Funchal on Madeira Island is still active on 1530 kHz. It is the only station still listed in ‘Europe’ overnight @ 3 kW, between the daily ROU broadcasts.
I often see a fading carrier after 1900z (QRT Romania) but never got a readable signal.

Last night I left my rx tuned to just below 1530 in USB to see the carrier over time and potential audio, but only the carrier was visible in my spectrogram thru 0245z when Radio Constanza signs on, from 0300z both ROU stations were audible with different programming.

But at 0117z, a male ID (jingle?) was suddenly audible in English, but I cannot understand the station name or even a QTH. Nothing heard before or later, only the music which faded rather quickly thereafter.

Do you have any idea what this may have been?
I attach what I heard and my spectrogram, yellow time scale in UTC.
My location is central Bavaria, my rx a SONY CF-2001D, my ant. a 50 cm MagLoop
(tuned) in-house.

Oregon AM Radio Station Recovers After Tower Suffers Crop-Duster Strike.
“A crop-duster aircraft crashed into the primary broadcast tower for an AM radio station in Klamath Falls, Ore., last week. Basin Mediactive’s KLAD(AM) 960 is licensed to Klamath Falls and transmits from one tower in a four-tower array along the Lost River, about five miles southeast of Altamont. It runs 5 kW during the day and 26 watts at night from the site. . . .”

I just noticed another new one on 972.0290 over the cochannel Korean (and possibly Rhema).  MP3 attached.  Local ads for Murwillumbah, so this is 2MW Radio 97, part of the Super Network.  Best heard from 1255 to 1300.  MP3 attached.  

Enjoying the world of radio from my remote QTH on Haida Gwaii off the NW coast of BC, Canada.

Radio Capodistria will not be on air on the evening of 21 August, which means it will be possible to receive HLSR KBS Hanminjok Bangsong 2 from Seoul on 1170 kHz here in Salzburg. If you point your antenna towards Africa, TWR Africa, Mpangela Ranch, Eswatini, can also be heard clearly after 20 UTC.
