Galei Tzahal 1287 could be heard in Rotterdam on a KiwiSDR mixed with the Spanisch stations on the channel. 21.00 UTC  March 11, 2026,
As it seems the army station operated by the IDF has not been closed, as sheduled by March 1, 2026.
Obviously the Iran war must be the reason.
The AM 1287 (and others?) are on air since AM signals give better reception in Shelters and bunkers. FM and mobile phones don’t work there.
For monitoring 1287 the Cyprus Kiwi SDR (TWR) is a good option http://cyp.twrmon.net:8073/
(Funny, the Spanisch stations carried football reports and Real Madrid, this match was discussed later on Gazei Tzahal)

Hebrew language is (once more) back on 1287 kHz this evening. Good signal in central Europe, but quite surprising.

Didnt they want to close their military radio station? Reliable sources have reported the closure of GLTZ recently:

It seems that Galei Tzahal has returned to 1287 kHz. Wondering if 945 kHz will be back, too?

New RSL station: Outreach Gold has just opened a brand new studio in Chandler’s Ford and is currently conducting test transmissions on 1557 kHz medium wave. It will start regular broadcasts from Friday 6th March. They are currently playing classic hits mostly from the 70s and the 80s, with intermittent announcements of their test transmission. I am not sure of the transmitter power, but I can hear it clearly because I live locally (Southampton).
Ofcom adds, “Outreach Gold will operate as a vintage radio station showcasing music and content
from the 1950s to the 1980s to the The Hilt, Hiltingbury Community Centre, in Hampshire SO53
5NP.”
The website is https://www.outreachgold.co.uk/join/ They are also online and on DAB. Any reports welcome.

New (old) Irish station testing on 1611 khz.
Only running 50 watts at the moment, but worth a try.

IRIB German Service now available on Medium Wave
Iranian State Broadcaster “Voice of Islamic Republic Iran” is airing its German Language Foreign Service on Medium Wave recently:

First observed on 26 Feb 2026 between 1852 and 1928 CET (1752-1828 UTC) on 639 kHz, also heard there on 28 Feb. (it is there at least since 21  st . or 23rd, when the spanish program was observed about two hours later –  according to mediumwave.info, the english service is also there) giving it a schedule : first German, followed by English (from 1830 UTC) and than Spanish (from 1930 UTC).

Today (3rd March) the German Service was launched at 1928 CET (1828 UTC) but on 702 kHz (!!) with the opening sequence and welcoming. usually, this frequency s/off after the armenian px.

This is quite surprising, as the IRIB German Feed is not even available on Short Wave any longer (as far as I know).
Certainly, this is due to on-going events. I could not find any information regarding this new German broadcast.

Today a new LPAM (low-power AM) started on 900 kHz in the Netherlands. Veluwse Ether Veteranen was heard in Finland around 16-17 utc. Power is 35 watts. Thank you Arend Westra and Koert Seinen for the hint!

In a recent verification letter of 675 Unique Gold,  the owner informs:
In addition to Gold, I expect Unique Classic Rock will be heard on AM 1287 within a few weeks. However, the range will be somewhat limited.
