WMR 25800 AM 1643 UTC 10 Oct 2021
« on: October 10, 2021, 1646 UTC »
It's fading in and out, but I'm definitely hearing music from WMR on 25800 KHz from my QTH in western Massachusetts! I've never heard the bands so wide open as they are today - at least not since the 90's! If WMR really is still running 100/250 watts then this might be my best DX catch ever!

Sorry for all the exclamation points, but this is exciting!

Looks like a good catch. :)

Station frequencies still list 25800. There is an online stream to verify if desired, too.

Here is video posted a couple of hours ago of 25800 as heard from Brazil.

I am currently (Oct 11) sitting lakeside at Sunapee State Park, New Hampshire using PL 880 with its wire.  Likewise, I am experiencing reception in the 1400 utc hour I never have at home using a long wire in an equally rural setting.  Many Eastern Europe, Central & Eastern Asian broadcasts.

Running the scan, I’m hitting too many stations to list using phone but highlights include:  KCBS (NK), BBC Somalian service, Radio Saudi French service, Radio Africa 21525 AM WRMI, Radio Iran International from Tashkent all with excellent reception.

I Googled their live stream and verified that I was really hearing what I thought I was hearing. Sure enough, that was it!
