*** Starting at 2300 UTC, here in southern/southeastern Brazil, many Spanish-language medium-wave stations can be heard every night. On almost every medium-wave frequency, at least one Spanish-language station can be heard. Even where there are frequencies with signals from Brazil, those from other countries can be heard by applying a slight rotation of a loop antenna. Not only are we hearing stations from Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay, but now we also receive medium-wave stations from Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and not infrequently from the United States, Cuba, and others in the Caribbean region without much difficulty. We are returning to a reality experienced in the 1960s. The Brazilian stations, for the most part, have left the medium waves (migrating to FM), and in those that are still on the air, it is noticeable that they are operating with reduced power until their extinction. In the matter of being listeners of medium waves, we cease to be merely Brazilian citizens and become considered South American citizens!!! (Rudolf Grimm).

Subject: Re: [bdxc-news] Channel 292 offering time from Monaco Media Diffusion on medium wave at 1467

Hello Tony,
I live very close to Roumoules and even closer to Monaco, so of course I can hear TWR very well on 1467 kHz.

Currently, the broadcasts are directed towards North Africa. But the four antennas are rotating; until 2023, there were broadcasts in Polish, therefore towards Poland.

Personally, I received 1467 kHz clearly, even as far away as Israel (last December) and also Chisinau in Moldova.

I've already visited the Roumoules transmitting center, which is quite impressive with its LW and MW antennas.

I hope you'll be able to broadcast from Roumoules; it's in France, but it's a Monegasque frequency!

Regards, Christian Ghibaudo.

You may have heard about Channel 292 offering time from Monaco Media Diffusion (MMD) on medium wave at 1467 kHz with a power of 1000 kW = 1 megawatt.The price is €350 per hour, so I am saving up some money to give this a go for an all-Europe MW special broadcast of Pop Shop Radio in April.

Here is where I need some assistance.

I understand that Trans World Radio uses this transmitter from 2115 to 2300 UT. Are you able to receive this at your location? A few people have told me that Iran may give this frequency some grief.

I am thinking about using it at 2300 UT sometime in April. I realise that this would be 0000 in the UK and 0100 in Europe. There is only a 7 hour window for booking time, 2300 to 0600 UT, so this seems like the most ideal time. Because I recognise that people may have work the next day, I would do UT Friday or Saturday (local Saturday/ Sunday).

To get the best coverage, I'm considering a bean that would be primarily north east from Monaco/ France, toward the Baltics.

Any advice would be appreciated

This has been coming in around this time for a few days.
It's fairly weak but a tentative ID "96 The Voice of Kampalova".
Also "Radio Fantastique" and even "Radio Samsung".
After the hour they play a generic French chanson but on Accordion.
Can anyone help me with this?
