Radio listeners tuning to 252kHz may soon be enjoying some long-range Dxing, as Arctic 252, the new broadcast station on that frequency, begins testing things out in September.

The Finnish-based station is hoping to serve listeners throughout the Arctic region. It is possible too that anyone with a long-wave radio receiver might be able to hear some of its signals in the northernmost parts of North America.

According to Hackaday, the website reporting this story, the same frequency is used by an Algerian station in North Africa - and it was formerly used by an Irish station as well as Finland's own YLE longwave broadcaster although both have long since gone off the air. The broadcaster says on its website, arcticradio.net, that it hopes for a clear channel allocation by the ITU.
