Not sure of the current situation with Radio North. Unfortunately Paul, the main operator and all round good guy, died a few weeks ago (RIP) after a long battle with cancer. I did a tribute here;

He did have a partner at the station, but I don't know who. A contact in Ireland thinks the absence may be weather related, so hopefully they will be back. Unlike many medium wave stations, I believe Radio North is one of the exceptions that still have listeners to 846. Although light on commercials, they have loads of religious sponsors that no doubt pay the bills.
I last heard them on Thursday night when driving to York, mixing with this Caroline relay.
Ian B,
Radio North is a weak but usable signal on the west coast of UK but MW conditions have been poor so not heard for the last few days or because the transmitter is off.
I haven't heard anything else on the frequency apart from the usual splatter.
I can't find any info as to why 846khz is silent.
Also hope it's not permanent .
Kev
Has anyone noticed a relay of Caroline Flashback on n 846 kHz. Been noted in Yorkshire and Scotland, especially at the moment as Radio North is off 846. Hopefully that is a temporary absence.
Any observations welcome.
