Unfortunately my audio clips were not originating at Radio Bonaire 1530, see below, so the ‘mystery’ remains…

“Dear Tobias,
Thank you for your warm words and for the reception report.
I know that in Europe the big medium wave stations stopped their services. That gives opportunities for other type of radio stations, like our emergency transmitter on Bonaire.
In the America’s are still a lot MW transmitters active, complete different situation compared to EU.
Thanks for the nice MP3’s, unfortunately they are not from Bonaire1530. In your recording is a person with an American accent saying something like station name. We don’t have jingles or station naming with American accent.
Please continue listening on 1530 kHz, you’ll never know what atmosphere will do.
Anyway, thank you very much for your message, I hope to get a report soon again.”

I’ll inform you in case of any news about it.

ACTIVE SUNSPOT ALERT: After weeks of relative quiet, the sun is flaring again. A new sunspot has emerged, and it is crackling with strong explosions. An M8-class event this morning puts us on the threshold of powerful X-class activity. Full story @ Spaceweather.com.

Call for wideband AM recordings during the closure of BBC4 on LW

Dear friends of AM radio,

As reported in several postings (e.g.https://mediumwave.info/2026/06/24/united-kingdom-590/) the legendary Droitwich LW transmitter on 198 kHz will go silent on June 27 in the early morning.

The COHIRADIA team (www.cohiradia.org) will make broadband IQ recordings during he last hours of the LW band to preserve the LW signal for playback in the future. However, there is no member directly located in UK, so the signal quality will depend on atmospheric conditions. We would therefore be glad if a volunteer who possess an adequate high-quality SDRs and who is located in or close to UK could help us capture broadband AM recordings in or near the UK. If you’re able to assist—or know someone who can — please reach out to me hermann.scharfetter@gmail.com

To avoid confusion: We require full wideband recordings in IQ file format, say 130 – 300 kHz LW at least or, even better, say 100 – 1800 kHz for capturing both, LW and MW at the same time. We do not look for audio recordings of individual stations. Ideally, these recordings should be made at a site with low QRM using a high-quality SDR with at least 12-bit resolution.

Closure will be at 1am BST, but we would appreciate a recording over several hours, starting maybe tomorrow, on 26th of June around 19:00 UTC.

Best regards, Hermann Scharfetter  (2026-06-25)

Auckland-Henderson Masts.
Not sure about the exact time table of the closures but the current Auckland situation (19:20 UTC, 20 April 2026) seems to be:
531 PI,
756 (RNZ),
882 (Plmnt /Sanct) ,
990 (Apna),
1332 (Gold) ,
1476 (Sport Nation) are all still on. 

810 (BBC WS) seems to be off the air.

Funkisradion in Halmstad plans to broadcast on both FM and medium wave this weekend during DX-Parlamente in Ullared. Henrik Pålsson is coming to Ullared to give a talk about his station, but the station also plans to broadcast on FM 100.6 and medium wave 1602 kHz. The station has a temporary licence to broadcast on medium wave. There are also some plans for the future of shortwave, given the changes in legislation. https://funkisradion.se/
