Nice tips on Medium Wave in these weeks. We read many interesting logs on FB groups, clubs' mailing lists, magazines. Here a log made in Bocca di Magra, Italy (Perseus & Cloud-IQ receivers with a 1530LNP loop) by Giampiero Bernardini and Dario Monferini (1611 clandestine Russian unid)
Please note this tips:
1) A Soviet radio back from the past. On 1611 kHz Dario heard a real interesting "clandestine", as he defines it, radio from Russia (i seems) with old Soviet songs. In the bottom you can find what in Finland serious listeners say about it.
2) For the first time I could listen to a station from Mozambique. It was on 1206 kHz, now a free channel.
3) Nice to report fair also in Italy on 1494 a relay of Coast FM (Tenerife) via Ireland
4) An Italian unid radio is testing (irr) on 1188

About the Russian-Soviet radio on 1611 Kari Kallio, Lahti Finland (14/3-2020) reported:
DX Info about Russian Clandestine MW radio station embarrassing in the Northern Europe.
It started very innocent like for maybe two weeks ago as an odd disturbance under 1602 kHz and then in the early state some could note anyhow there speaking in Russian language which only few can understand here in the North, however.
It let arise a vivid speculation ao. in the SDXL-AM-group what it was all about where it got the nickname "UNID 1599,62 kHz". Gradually the station started to crawl upwards and some heard it at least once on 1620 kHz...but it turned around and went downwards, seemingly now to be parked on 1611 kHz. It is the frequency where quite often many Dutch pirate radios use to transmit mainly pop or ethnic polka music. So inside their reception area this newcomer is not possible to be heard.
Also among the Finnish DXers abnormalities were reported in reception with different antennas. JM Nurmela in Central Finland logged that he can hear to the station with the backbeam of his yankee antennawire but only Dutch polka with some other. The station is frequently S9-strong at least in the remote SW Finnish Kiwi SDR receiver in Turku as well in Belarussia.
I asked there a DXer Alex to listen to the program and make notes about it. He analysed also some of my to him posted soundclips about contents. "This is a radio or movie magazine entry from the 1950s (?) tells about difficulties in the production of phonograph records (the first track is about helping the Red Army in this, the second track is about replacing old phonograph records with new ones at exchange points).
No ID!" Last night he send me his own observations as follows: "On the evening of 12 and 13, I listened to 1611, again archived records * Good morning * and * Good evening * 60s-70s All-Union Radio (USSR), there was no identification of who is relaying. Alex".
So far can we say that somebody has decided to dig very, over a half decade old filed archives radio recordings from the USSR as drama and radio plays to replay them anew to the audience which has probably not ever heard them live, now on the same old work-place: AM radio and on the Medium Waves.
Is this some sublime trial to revive some kind of Museum Radio somewhere in the russophone world along the Southern beaches of the Baltic Sea or somewhere deeper in the inland? The time will later probably light up what it in fact was - a serious project or only fun" like a pirate radio.
