3 Mexican AM Construction Permits have come on the air recently, all in the state of Zacatecas:

610 XECCBS Fresnillo – on the air with “La Ke Buena” programming from Mexico City. They run the fast adult choral version of the anthem (2 verses) right around 1200 UT, followed by the network’s morning zoo-style program “Los Hijos de la Mañana” with three guys who call themselves “El Gallo,” “El Mamut,” and “El Cocodrilo,” plus one woman who does not seem to have a nickname. Day power 10 kW, night power unknown.

640 XECCCN Lomas de Calera – on the air with “La…..Q” programming similar to (but not //) XEQ-940. Day power 5 kW, night power unknown.

1020 XECCCG Cañitas de Felipe Pescador – on the air with W Radio programming and probably also using the generic “Radio Cañon” {sic} slogan (which is not an indicator of format or anything else except for station ownership!). Day power 10kW, night power unknown.

After several months of inactivity, Radio Libre (AM 890 kHz) returned to the airwaves, broadcasting its usual programming, which had been available only via streaming since it went off the air.
Apparently, the station has moved its studios, which were located on Avenida Cnel. Ramón L. Falcón 6219 in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, as did its ‘sister’ station LA 810 Radio (810 KHz).
Both stations are operated by the company ‘Aires de Radio S.R.L.’, under the general management of Nelson Ernesto Figueira and Patricia Noemí Calicchio. Radio Libre now announces two new telephone numbers: (11) 3722-9091 and 4314-0965, maintaining its email address: administracion@am890.ar, and its website: www.radio890.ar. We do not yet have confirmation of the current location of its new studios.

Arctic Radio
Yesterday marked the first broadcast of audio material on 252 kHz LW.

Transmitter is currently running at 600w carrier,  750-800W peak modulation. It will get better over time. Range is only 150km until we get the proper antenna up in September. 

So that’s it, LW is back in Finland after 32 years. Those who said it cannot be done are proven wrong!

There is a second application for an MW license in Austria with the RTR. The assigned frequency will be 1143 kHz. The station will broadcast from the Upper Austria area. The test broadcast has been approved by the RTR (Austrian licensing authority) and is scheduled for August 27th at midnight to August 29th
at midnight. The operator is expected to be on the frequency from approximately 8 a.m. on August 27th and will be on air until midnight. The exact broadcast time on the following two days has not yet been
determined.
The test will consist of a text loop and an identification signal. At my suggestion, there may also be a special QSL for the test. Since the contact does not want to be made public yet, I am offering to arrange this.
Anyone who listens to the station can send me the report, and I will then reliably forward it.

If a license is actually granted, the contact will open and provide his contact information. I was also informed that there will also be special night broadcasts with programming for DXers.
The selected frequency is practically empty except for two Spanish 5kW stations.
If the license application is successful, Austria will then have two licensed MW stations. Museumsradio from Bad Ischl is the allready second one on 1476 kHz.
