The broadcasts can be heard on 1485 kHz AM from Raasepori, in addition to the familiar shortwave frequency of 6005 kHz.
During the test phase, the transmitter power will be 15 watts.
The plan is to increase the power to 250 watts in October, which will improve coverage.
Reception reports are always welcome!

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.

Some extra info on the local station on 1530 Bonaire.
Channel 1400 is assigned to the island, but the initiators wanted another frequency that fits into both 10 kHz en 9 kHz roster. 1530 does.
On the island there are cars imported from Europe that have 9 kHz roster on AM, now they also can pick up the station.

Kossuth Radio will return at 00:00 local time, 15.07.2026 with temporary programming.
The temporary programming will focus on Radio Plays and Dramas. According to the announcement, they will also be able to hear audio plays whose authors or creators “did not fit into the cultural and political worldview of the power at the time.” Works whose authors did not approve of public media use will also be broadcast, but have now been given the opportunity to do so following the renewal.
According to the information, in addition to previously neglected pieces, legendary audio plays, life interviews and documentaries will also be heard in the future. The program structure will change: live news will adapt to the length of the audio plays, with the exception of the midday news. The schedule of 540 kHz maybe stays the same, no change mentioned.
