ARC Newsflash: NRK Vigra 630 kHz closing down
Eivind Motland reports: Norwegian public broadcaster NRK will cease broadcasts on 630 kHz from the Vigra mediumwave transmitter on 30 June. The purpose of keeping it on the air simply isn't there anymore, as it primarily is targeted towards the fishing fleet to let them get the weather reports.

ARC Newsflash: AFN Frankfurt, Radio Waddenzee, Kol Israel 1206

ARC Newsflash: AFN 873 AM off air in June
May 25, 2011- The American Forces Network Europe (AFNE) is adjusting its radio broadcast signals to help State German officials hosting a huge outdoor multi-concert bash, Hessentag.
German telecommunications officials asked AFN to temporarily turn off the 873 AM transmitter in June because heavy car traffic will be routed by the normally remote AFN radio transmitter on the way to a newly created field parking lot. Workers also need time to set up and take down concert stages, lights and temporary buildings, and they are bringing in cranes to do it. The Hessentag festivities and concerts run June 10-19 in Oberursel, Germany.
"Our German neighbors asked us to temporarily turn off our 873 AM Power Network transmitter in Central Germany for concerts with Linkin Park, Bryan Adams, the Scorpions and scores of others," says AFN Europe Commander Colonel Bill Bigelow, "During that time, we'll broadcast to our American audience in Wiesbaden on 1143 AM from another location."
While 1143 AM's 1,000-watts of power will reach Americans stationed in Wiesbaden, the temporary transmitter doesn't have the reach of AFN's 150,000-watt transmitter in Weiskirchen, which reaches American commuters in Frankfurt, Darmstadt, Hanau and Giessen.
AFN Europe will put 873 AM back on the air July 1st. (mwdx via Bengt Ericson, ARC, Växjö)

ARC Newsflash: Regional/Local Elections in Spain
Hi friends,
RNE will have special regional/local blocks of programming to give the results:
UTC
22-may:
1845-1900 REG R1//R5
1930-1935 REG R1//R5
2210-2240 REG R1//R5 (R5 only until 2235)
2235-2240 LOCAL R5
23-may:
The R5TN LOCAL break (0700-0715) could be extended till 0730 if it is considered necessary by each station.
In Castilla y León, the Ponferrada branch will act as a real local station again for this special local breaks on R5 (from some years ago they are only relaying R5TN-León). So it is a rare opportunity to catch this station with own programming (1107 kHz, 10 kw). The same could be expected from La Línea-1503 (usually // Cádiz) or Vigo-1413 (usually // Pontevedra)... but unsure for me.
The same kind of special local programs could be expected in the private networks too.

Heard in Fredriksfors April 20 - few signals
.Not many stations with a readable signal this night. Quite a dissapointment.
In the evening shortwave ICDI on 3390 came through with a weak but readable signal. No transatlantic signals on mediumwave at their sunset. In the morning just a few signals that were readable, though the band was nicely clean from disturbances.
Logg
Kortvåg
3390 19.3 -2104 ICDI Centralafrikanska Republiken stängde den här tiden efter prat på lokalt språk men id på franska. QSA 2. JE
Mellanvåg
Västindien
1440 20.4 0225 HIAK Radio Impactante Santo Domingo. Eftersom knappt Rebelde på 1180 gick ”anständigt” hade jag inte en tanke på Västindien, men HK rättade in mig i ledet. Gick bättre än jag hört den tidigare men bara en kort stund. JE
1640 20.4 0249 Radio Juventus Don Bosco Santo Domingo med sprucket ljud och tidvis störd av vad jag tror var betydligt intressantare. JE
Sydamerika
1510 20.4 0245 Radio Alegria Arequipa med bra styrka men väldigt distat ljud. JE
1540 20.4 0250 TurboMix Cajamarca med som vanligt bra fart på programmet och bra signal en stund. Minst en till spansktalande (också Peru?) men gick inte få fram vad det var. JE
