On 12 December the Italian station AM Italia broadcast a special program
to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the first transoceanic
communication between Poldhu (UK) and Terranova (Canada) by Guglielmo
Marconi. AM Italia (formerly Challenger Radio) operates from Villa
Estense(Padua, northern Italy).

This program was transmitted on 207 kHz, 918 kHz and 1323 kHz and 
consisted in a loop with an announcement in English, followed by a 
speech in Italian by Guglielmo Marconi himself describing his 
experimental communications and by 20 "S" letters in Morse code, the 
signal sent on air during that historical contact.
I posted a video of my reception on my YouTube channel: 
https://youtu.be/wokPOwDB-xE
While 918 and 1323 kHz are now off the air, the 207 kHz LW frequency is 
still operating and might be received overseas, in spite of its low 
power (about 1 kW into a wire antenna). Voice is hard to be heard even 
from my QTH, only 100 km from the station, but the CW "S" letters ( ... 
) stand clear above the background noise on the band. The station is 
considering to leave 207 kHz on air continuously and without a precise 
final date, so have your try!
May I suggest to try and tune into the Morse code characters for your 
best chance to hear the station. The CW tone is 660 Hz, and during the 
CW section of the program you could consider the station as a simple A2A 
NDB and listen in CW mode, with as narrow a selectivity as possible, on 
207 kHz +/- 660 Hz (207.660 kHz or 206.340 kHz).

In the years 2003/2004, RADIOCOM replaced the Romanian LW as well as almost all MW transmitters with new "HARRIS" devices: https://web.archive.org/web/20050330161322/http://www.broadcast.harris.com/news/view_pressrelease.asp?act=lookup&pr_id=1500 Now the last five older AM transmitters which are still in use will also be replaced. RADIOCOM will buy three new 50 kW, and two new 25 kW MW transmitters. They will be installed in the following locations: CONSTANȚA/VALU LUI TRAIAN: 50 kW - 1458 kHz - SRR Radio România Actualități (currently 100 kW, off-air) 50 kW - 1314 kHz - SRR Antena Satelor (currently 50 kW) 25 kW - 909 kHz - SRR Radio Constanța (currently 25 kW) ORADEA/RONTĂU: 50 kW - 603 kHz - SRR Radio România Actualități (currently 50 kW) BUCUREȘTI/HERĂSTRĂU: 25 kW - 603 kHz - SRR Antena Satelor/Radio Bukarest/Bukaresti Rádió (currently 30 kW) More information (in Romanian and English): http://www.radiocom.ro/achizitii/Emitatoare_unde_medii/ Note: 1458 kHz is off-air since the beginning of Aug.2021 since the old Thomson TMW-100 tx is not working any more. Here is a COMPLETE DETAILED LIST of all Romanian LW and MW broadcasts: http://ab27.bplaced.net/ul-um_romania.pdf (Alexander Busneagvia WOR io group)

Join me, Paul Walker, on WRMI Shortwave for a special broadcast on WRMI
Shortwave being relayed from NPR/community radio station KSKO 89.5
McGrath, Alaska where I work as Program Director

It’ll take place Saturday December 25th 0400-0600UTC on 5850kHz to the 
east coast US and 7730kHz to the west coast US, Canada along with 
Hawaii, and the South Pacific (NZ, Aus, etc)
I will give out a phone number during the show where you can call with 
requests since it’ll be a live show.  We don’t have QSL cards or 
anything but if you want confirmation of reception, keep the email short 
and sweet with the usual needed details and send me a note: 
walkerbroadcasting@gmail.com
(5850kHz has a pretty wide beam and despite being directed at Vancouver, 
it’s often quite audible in the eastern US.  7330kHz is beamed towards 
the US/Mexico border  which affords 7730 better coverage of the Pacific 
Ocean region countries)
