Thanks to Mike Barraclough for this info:
“Horizon FM Tenerife has started broadcasting on shortwave on 5,780 [kHz], 75 watts at the moment, short English announcement on their website.”
More information can be found here along with an announcement that Horizon plans to increase output power to 1kW within the next three weeks.
Mike originally posted this info on the Cumbre DX FB page.
Don’t forget the sea round the Canary Islands will give the Output a BOOST!
Regards

Ah yes – found this the other day. At first I thought it was a pirate relay, but then found the info on the station web site. 75 Watts! Wow – I’m receiving it here 9 plus at times (unless it’s on 1KW already).
Regards, David.
It´s an evidence that shortwave is not dead as many people may think. CRI is occupying the frequencies space left empty for the main broadcasters. In spite I live in big city and in apartament I just get out it and with my Chinese Tecsun PL 660 and enjoy lots of transmissions as a local reception quality. It´s very impressive how the CRI is very strong and clear. Also I can listen to
an American Catholic Global Network on the 15610 in the evening.
Corrected! Thank you, Bruce.
Best,

7580 kHz? Elsewhere it’s listed as 5780 kHz… Guess there’s a typo here…
