1539  25 AUG, 2052 UTC, UAE (US), Radio Aap Ki Dunya, with roundtable discussion in Urdu.  Must have been a political talk because one of the participants was shouting angrily, and I could almost imagine him foaming at the mouth.  Good signals with some moderate fading.  Germany’s 700kW Evangeliums-Rundfunk heard occasionally underneath, but very weak.

1548/1548.5  25 AUG, 2048 UTC, KUWAIT (US), Radio Sawa duking it out with Iran who insists on being 500Hz higher in frequency, causing a massive heterodyne on the channel.  Both running bland talk.

12585  25 AUG, 1240 UTC, GUAM (US) US Coast Guard Station NRV with SITOR/CW marker and fair signals, no interference.

Sleep was elusive last night, so I decided to do a mediumwave bandscan.  I will try to do one starting from 531 this evening as Friday is the day off around these parts.

Hi Al,
thank you for the interesting loggings! I have also noticed Iran here in Finland on 1548.5 kHz. Hopefully you can tune in tonight at 1430 and 1530 to catch regional Afghan and Iranian stations. Last winter I heard Afghans on 1386 and 1500 kHz here.

BRAZIL
11805 SRDA (Super R?dio Deus ? Amor), Rio de Janeiro, 2140UT, August 25, reactivated. Week signal heard here in the middle of Europe but clearly in parallel to 11765kHz.  Exact frequency: 11804.99kHz. “A Voz do Brasil” relay at 2200 but covered by VoA. This frequency (ex Radio Globo) was inactive for about one year(?). Have been trying it many times but not even a carrier detected… (Karel Honzik, CZE)

531  26 AUG, 2053 UTC, IRAN, IRIB national channel with Farsi talk and interviews. Two IRIB powerhouses sit on this frequency, one with 500kW and the other with 600kW and some audio delay making for difficult listening when they fight for the channel.  Radio Algerienne program 1 occasionally heard during fades, but supposedly at half-power (300kW) during this time.

540  26 AUG, 2101 UTC, IRAN, IRIB national channel with Farsi talk and music. Two high power outlets here as well, at 200 and 300 kW, struggling for channel supremacy with PBC out of Peshawar also with 300kW.  Add Kuwait’s Quran channel with 600kW into the mix and you have a pile-up requiring a loop antenna to sort out.

549  26 AUG, 2108 UTC, IRAN IRIB national channel with Farsi talks and interview.  400kW powerhouse Strong and stable signals in the absence of 1200kW China, but not // 531, 540 lending credence to WRTH statement that regional audio and national audio may often be swapped at the same site.

549  26 AUG, 2220 UTC, ALGERIA, Radio Algerienne Program 1 heard clearly in absence of Iranian audio and occasional carrier drop.  Iran seemed to be having problems with its tx as power was varied all over the place, unless this Friday morning (Kabul time) is the equivalent of the Monday morning silent period back in the US.

558  26 AUG, 2114 UTC, IRAN, Radio Farhang with two men in a long-winded Farsi discussion.  Local signals with no interference due to 1000kW power. Occasional music thrown into the mix.

576  26 AUG  2137 UTC, OMAN, Radio Sultanate of Oman, with radio play and announcements by male and female talent.  100kW with fair signals but a deep fade every few minutes.  No sign of the 750 kW Iranian station supposed to be on this channel.  Bonus!

585  26 AUG, 2147 UTC, IRAN, Radio Quran, with – you guessed it – all Quran all the time.  Solid, needle-pegging signals at 600kW.  Interesting live Quran reading with the crowd ooh’ing and awww’ing.  The guy singing the verses could have given Rob Halford a run for his money.  Even smothering the 1200kW Saudi station underneath.

594  26 AUG, 2205 UTC, IRAN, IRIB Regional from Shiraz, with a few Koranic chants and long-wided talk by male in Farsi. 400kW but still suffering from deep fades.  otherwise strong signals.  Possible BSKSA pilgrimage channel from Mecca with 50kW heard underneath and during fades.

603  26 AUG, 2216 UTC, IRAN, National channel with some Iranian pop music and Farsi talk.  Fair signals with 50 kW and bad QRM from an unidentified carrier on 602 kHz which had an opposite fade to it as the Iranian carrier. No audio, just carrier.

612  26 AUG, 2231 UTC, EGYPT, ERTU Voice of the Arabs with male and female announcers and Arabic music.  Very good signals with minimal fade. 1000kW

648  26 AUG, 2236 UTC, SAUDI ARABIA, BSKSA general program with news and PSAs.  Good signals and at 2000kW, pretty much the only thing heard on-channel.

657  26 AUG, 2240 UTC, IRAN, IRIB national channel with chanting and some Quran reading.  Good signals at 100kW,

4780  26 AUG, 2004 UTC, DJIBOUTI, RTV Djibouti with local music and Arabic talks.  Several French words thrown in for spice when the Arabic didn’t have enough flavor.  Good signals with a fluttery propagation.

That’s all for tonight.  I will try to pick up with more tomorrow.  I have to get some rack time, as I have some work to do on my day off.

Best 73 to all!

“Why of course the people don’t want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don’t want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” – Hermann Goering, Hitler’s #2 Man

Subject: [HCDX] Sat Morn

Guyana, 3290, Voice of Guyana, 0915-0930,  At tune in noted a male in English comments.
Music at 0922.  Signal is poor with steady pain inducing crashes covering it.  (Chuck Bolland, August 28, 2010)

Japan, 3925, Radio Nikkei1, 0925-0935,   Noted a female in Japanese language comments
with music as a bridge. She is joined by a male. Lots  of ARO interference here, but Nikkei1
remains audible with a fair signal.  (Chuck Bolland, August 28, 2010)

Solomon Islands, 5020, SIBC, 0933-0945,   At tune in noted just music for awhile.   Between
music, a male comments briefly.  Signal is poor. (Chuck Bolland, August 28, 2010)

Russia, 5930, GTRK(pres), Kamchatka(?), 0945-1000, Noted a male in Russian language
comments between musical selections.   Signal is just poor enough that it’s difficult to copy details of comments. Also noticed the hum that has been causing poor reception of the audio. Noted a  parallel signal on 5940 KHz even poorer thatn here. News presented by a male on both
outlets on the hour.     (Chuck Bolland, August 28, 2010)

Subject: [HCDX] Voice of East Azerbaijan

Hi,
after some discussion on the German a-dx group, the conclusion seems to be that the Tabriz regional station of Iran’s IRIB is broadcasting a special Ramadan programme on shortwave and mediumwave. Check next night; this is all somewhat still presumed status. Ramadan runs until around 9 or 10 September this year.

Presumably the schedule is:
2330-0130 UT 702, 1323, 3985 kHz
0130-0430 UT 702, 1323 kHz
Programme “Avbashdanlyq” (Voice of East Azerbaijan – IRIB Tabriz) in AZERI language
Plus FM outlets 90.4, 100.9, 105.5 MHz and Intel 902 satellite.

The website http://tabriz.irib.ir/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1646&Itemid=247
announces this broadcast for the 2009 Ramadan, and the current observations indicate that the same is true in 2010. They say that the programme runs from 4 to 9 a.m. (=UTC+4.5h), and “120 minutes” on the “overseas” service (that would be 3985). Thanks to Google Translate for improving my Farsi.

3985 has about the strength as the Voice of Croatia on the same frequency. Reception on 702 is good here in Leipzig, // 3985, but Patrick Robic in Austria reports a different Iranian programme which might stem from the Bushehr transmitter near the Persian Gulf, so beware which one it is you are getting. Yours truly observed 3985 to disappear at 0130, though hard to tell for sure with the Croatian powerhouse interfering.

702 is via the Kiashar transmitter on the Caspian Sea, usually in use for the external service for the Caucasus region. 37?24′36.33″N  50?00′44.51″E (thanks wb)

3985 is registered for the scrapped Mashhad site – wb says in fact it’s been via Kamalabad for 3 years; AOKI lists Sirjan.

Streams on the station website:
http://tabriz.irib.ir/
mms://77.36.254.170:1756 (Radio)
mms://77.36.254.170:1755 (TV)

Thanks to Patrick for bringing this up initially, and to Dirk, Wolfgang, and Mauno for greatly helping to solve this.

There is another Iranian 75m channel on 3945 (until 0100 UT). Regular Pashto service as registered??

73!

9725  29 AUG, 1642 UTC, TUNISIA, RTV Tunisienne, Sfax with long Arabic talk by man, mentioning “Iftar,” which is the first meal after sundown, I believe, and also a mention of Pakistan and Tunis.  Good signals, minimal adjacent channel QRM from Voice of Vietnam on 9730.

11297 USB  29 AUG, 1558 UTC, RUSSIA, Saint Petersburg VOLMET, Female in Russian with ground weather.  Good signals without QRM.

11905  29 AUG, 1529 UTC, SRI LANKA, SLBC, start of Hindi program to India. Many IDs in English (!) by male and female announcers as: “This is Radio Ceylon calling to India.”  Male announcer gave local FM rundown and seemed to get a little lost as to where the tx’ers were located.  Program went into Local music and Hindi.  Powerhouse signals with very little interference way underneath and slight fading.  Four years and I am *still* trying to get a QSL out of these guys.  It’s just complete non-response. :

So we’ve installed a couple of 20 kVA voltage regulators in the household over the past few days.  The voltage was varying between 170 and 203 volts and we all decided enough was enough.  While Afghanistan has come a long way with the power utility, it is being sent down from Pakistan at 220,000 VAC and the sags get very bad.  An Ozzie friend of mine who works mentoring the power utility has said they are installing reactors and capacitors along the lines for equalization, but it isn’t helping many of the areas of Kabul. The difference is amazing with the regulators!  I can actually sit and read without feeling like I am doing so by candlelight.  Everything is much more stable.  Just a few more days until my Thailand DXpedition!
