About Arctic 252
Arctic 252 started as a project in the Spring of 2024. With the decline in LW broadcasts it was mostly with nostalgia the project was born. The challenge was to see if the viability of small-scale private broadcasting on LW could work.
The LW station will focus on locally produced, community programming covering the Arctic area in multiple languages.
252 kHz was the former home of Finland’s YLE longwave station from Lahti that was switched off in 1993.
If you would like to help the project please get in touch as we are currently also looking for a MW transmitter and need help from a broadcast engineer who has knowledge of LF antennas.
