June 27, 2026, will be remembered as a historic day in broadcasting. On that day, the BBC will end transmissions of Radio 4 on 198 kHz in the Long Wave band. At 00:00 UTC, three historic transmitters—Droitwich in England and Burghead and Westerglen in Scotland—will fall silent. This marks the end of nearly 92 years of one of the most recognizable radio services in Europe.

Every year, on the fourth weekend of June, amateur radio operators from across North America gather for ARRL Field Day—the largest and most recognized event in the world of amateur radio communications. Held continuously since 1933, the event combines emergency preparedness exercises, technical education, operating competition, and public outreach. This year's edition will take place on June 27–28, when thousands of radio amateurs will once again set up temporary stations in parks, campgrounds, and other outdoor locations to test their skills and readiness to provide communications during emergencies.
