The BBC has announced that its Long Wave service on 198kHz, currently transmitting BBC Radio 4, will close on 27 June 2026 at 1am BST.

The Long Wave transmitters at Droitwich in Worcestershire, Westerglen near Stirling, and Burghead overlooking the Moray Firth, will be closed that day. Together with the BBC Amateur Radio Group, we will be marking this occasion on the air and are looking for volunteers to activate a special call sign in the week leading up to and including the day of the closure.

In addition, three radio clubs have volunteered to activate special call signs to celebrate the almost-92 years of these historic transmitters on the day that they are finally turned off.

We revealed the X-026 during @hamvention 2026. Let's have one more look. What do you think it'll be? Let us know in the comments! #Icom #HamRadio #AmateurRadio #x026

Direct Hit! The solar storm launched during the M9.3-flare is indeed Earth-directed! Since this is the second significant eruption from Region 4455 while in the Earth-strike zone, this means this second storm could get "held up" in "traffic" on its way to Earth. The NASA solar storm prediction shows the second storm arrival by late June 4. However, the first storm will precede this so expect some impact starting around mid-day June 4 with the stronger storm arriving close behind!

I have operated from Honeymoon Island State Park several times since we used to live on Sand Key Island just to the south of this park. Beautiful place and envious that Mike is there today and I am not!

Mike W1MPC; "Activated my first park today. Honeymoon Island State Park US-1880. I only did FT8, as my hearing isn’t good enough for pile ups. Where is sat, and what brings people to the park."

🚀 A massive #Missouri shoutout to Dan Crossin Sr. and his wife Becky for completing the ultimate amateur radio achievement—the "clean sweep" all the way to Amateur Extra! 👑🎉

Dan and Becky have officially conquered the entire amateur radio spectrum from their "toy box" ham shack in the garage! Passing the Technician, General, and Extra exams is no small feat, and doing it together makes it even more special. The Show-Me State has a powerful new radio duo ready to utilize every single frequency privilege available to civilian operators.

A huge thank you to the Lincoln County Mo Auxiliary Communication Association for hosting their exams at the St. Charles Community college!

We are so proud to have played a part in your journey to the top tier of the hobby. 🎙️📺✨

Have an absolute blast at Hamvention! We hope you get that picture with N4BFR, and we can't wait to see you back in the classroom for your next radio adventure. Until then, the entire spectrum is yours to explore! 📡🌻🏆
