KBC to leave shortwave

KBC Radio, which broadcasts on 6055 via Lithuania from 2130-2230 UTC every night (and Sundays 0200-0300 UTC on 6110) has announced it is stop broadcasting on shortwave from September 30.

On their website, the station says it is moving and will be announcing its new frequency soon. It would appear they are moving to medium wave. Maybe back to their old frequency on 1386!

WNKR on 1395

This from Andy Sennitt of Media Network: "Before I get swamped with questions about what’s happening on 1395 kHz, a Dutch frequency last used by UK-based Big L, another UK-based station has moved to that frequency at weekends. WNKR, a pirate station that has been operating for 22 years, has moved to 1395 from 1476 kHz, apparently to avoid interference from a Spanish station, but is now suffering interference in the evenings from Trans World Radio operating from Albania with high power. The station apparently also has a shortwave transmitter on 6311 kHz."

(via http://blogs.rnw.nl/medianetwork/ .... there's also 11 comments on the item as well)

WNKR is rarely on shortwave these days, and not necessarily 6311.
