Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Paul Jamet who notes that Arctic 252 plans to conduct on-air tests in August 2025. The project received a donation of a Nautel ND2000 transmitter, complete with its matching antenna tuning unit and antenna.

Initial test transmissions will run at 500 Watts. Once testing and fine-tuning of the antenna system are complete, transmission power will be increased to 1 kW for broader reach beyond Finland.
