I spent a couple of days in the Azores earlier this month.
It is an amazing place for transatlantic MW DX. Using 100 meters of wire on the ground and a simple portable radio a lot of transatlantic stations were audible at sunrise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7WF7qp-X8o After this fantastic morning I drove a bit inland and made a FM band scan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-8VyMVPgys All MW stations in the Azores are inactive - except RTP 'Antena 1', Flores, on 828 and AFRTS on 1503 kHz. I believe AFRTS is on the air 24 hours a day but 'Antena 1' is off air at night - probably signing on a 0700 or 0730.
