KilRock 1287 is off air due to antenna failure

From their Facebook page yesterday evening: 
Antenna Damage at KilRock Radio – 1287 kHz
Due to the strong winds here in Zuiddorpe, our antenna detached from its mast this morning. As a result, our transmitter on 1287 kHz has unfortunately gone off the air.
Repairs are urgently needed. Regrettably, this means we will be unable to broadcast via the medium wave (1287 kHz) for the next few days.
However, you can still listen to us online! 
You can continue to enjoy the familiar sounds of KilRock Radio via our new servers at www.kilrock.nl and various streaming services.
We will keep you updated as soon as there is more news regarding the repairs and the resumption of our broadcasts on 1287 kHz.
Thank you for your understanding—keep listening to KilRock Radio!

A Special Update on the New 702 DZAS Transmitter.
[….]
In June 2023, we launched the “Transmitting Signal, Transforming Lives” campaign to replace the station’s aging transmitter. By God’s grace and through the generosity of our ministry partners, the funds needed for the project were fully raised in early 2025. We praise God for His faithful provision every step of the way. 
As we move into the final phase of the project, we would like to share an important update. 
Due to unforeseen circumstances that affected global shipping and logistics, the project’s timeline had to be adjusted. We now expect the new transmitter to arrive in the Philippines this October, after which installation and testing will begin at our FEBC Bocaue transmitter site. By God’s grace, we are prayerfully looking forward to putting the new transmitter on the air by December. 
This new transmitter will be instrumental in continuously delivering the message of Christ with greater reliability to listeners across Mega Manila and beyond.  
As we prepare for this final stage, we invite you to continue praying with us for the safe arrival of the transmitter, a smooth installation process, and God’s guidance for everyone involved. 
Thank you for journeying with us through this project. As we celebrate our 78th anniversary, we remain committed to communicating Christ in our world—until all have heard.

The transmitter in Batrah, Egypt has serious issues, now it’s on 822v kHz. Few days ago it was on 808.3v then on 810v kHz instead of 819 kHz. And the audio is heavily distorted and under-modulated.

Khairpur All Set for Installation of 100-kW Digital Medium Wave Transmitter.
Director General, Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation (PBC), Saeed Ahmed Shaikh, visited Khairpur today to inspect the ongoing civil works at the High Power Transmitter (HPT) site and Broadcasting House, where a 100-kilowatt Digital Medium Wave (DRM) transmitter, along with its allied equipment, will be installed within the next two months.

During the visit, the Director General reviewed the progress of the project and expressed satisfaction over the pace of work. He said the transmitter shall soon start its test transmission as the required infrastructure has already been completed. The new digital transmitter is expected to provide radio coverage over a radius of approximately 300 kilometres.

Talking to local journalists, Saeed Ahmed Shaikh said the project marks Radio Pakistan’s entry into the digital broadcasting era. He said the Corporation is gradually replacing its ageing analogue Medium Wave transmitters with modern DRM technology to enhance transmission quality and extend reliable broadcasting services across the country.

He said the 100-kW digital transmitter for Quetta is also under manufacture and is expected to reach Pakistan by the end of the current year. He added that new digital transmitters will subsequently be installed at Khuzdar, Gilgit and Skardu under the next phase of Radio Pakistan’s modernization programme.

Limited Time DX Opportunity: KBOZ-1090 Bozeman MT has long been licensed for 5 kW at night with a slightly misshapen skinny WSW-NE Figure 8 directional pattern that takes five towers to create and sends almost no power in other directions. But they are currently operating 1250 watts non-directional at night and get out quite well. They are almost always there here in Edmonton despite KPTR-1090 Seattle WA pushing the non-directional equivalent of 100 kW in my direction. KBOZ’s STA was just renewed so they will be running 1250 watts for a while longer. Their CP is for only 32 watts non-directional at night, so this 1250 watts STA won’t last forever. KBOZ’s original night pattern had to protect CHEC-1090 Lethbridge AB, which has since changed call letters and moved to FM.
