Re your 1000 Hertz tone tests at 0449 UT
Re "...so I doubt it's Iran ..."
IRAN/MADAGASCAR Noted such test tone on 15400 kHz at 0521 UT July 7 today.
Covered R Dabanga in Sudanese-Arabic from Talata Volondry MDG til 0526 UT,
then test tone had disappeared. I guess the engineers at Kamalabad Iran test
their transmitter / antenna / feedline for further services the day around
1300-1527 UT towards South Asia. Test tone signal on S=9+20dB level. No test
tones observed here on 15150 kHz today so far.

SAUDI ARABIA 15170 Annoying BSKSA HQ prayer bad signal of S=9+20dB
performed via a disturbed TX unit from at Riyadh this morning.
Noted at 0518 UT July 7 disturbed signal in broadband range spurious
splatter on 15160 to 15180 kHz wide range.
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews July 7)
CYPRUS {tentat.} British army OTHR from Limassol splattered wide range
sound multi signals on 15117 to 15141 kHz range, S=9+20dB at 0526 UT.
IRAN 15150 Nice clean signal of IRIB's Arabic service from Zahedan
appeared early around 0527 UT July 7, scheduled 0530-1427 UT. After a tip in
dxld about annoying distorted signals broadband some 80 kHz wide, I
complaint directly at the IRIB technical dept. at Tehran via e-mail some
months ago. They promised immediatelly to send engineers from Tehran to
Zahedan and therefore to repair the TX unit legally accordingly.

Re CHINA. Firedrake...
After very long absence, I heard two FIREDRAKE signals last night, when
checked remote SDR unit in donwunder Pacific.
CHINA {mainland jamming} 17560 The first FIREDRAKE music jammer - since
months - heard here today July 7 at 0015 UT. Noted against VoA Mandarin
service from Tinang-PHL. Jammer at S=9+20dB level in downunder remote SDR
unit. Similar strength level like regular CRI Beijing 500 kW unit on 17495
kHz at 00-01 UT.
15385 VOA Chinese from Tinang-PHL was disturbed by multi echo talk jamming
of CNR1 type at 0032 UT July, S=8-9 signal in Australia, ... and UNDERNEATH
additionally heard a weaker FIREDRAKE music jammer.
15565 VOA Mandarin sce via UdornThani-THA covered by CNR1 multi echo
'spoken word' jamming only, at 0038 UT S=8 in Brisbane.

AUSTRALIA/IRAN 12080 Very bad mixture of RA Brandon 2000-1100 UT outlet
with co-channel IRIB's Arabic sce from Zahedan of 500 kW scheduled 1630-0527
UT, both S=9+5dB on equal level in Brisbane remote post. ... at same time
11860 to 11950 kHz was totally free frequency range ...
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews July 7)
Noted also some nice long path range signals across the Pacific:
SPAIN 15160 REE in Sp from Noblejas, scheduled at 242 degr, noted at 0023
UT July 7. Performed a telephone interview program. Long range path across
Colombia, Easter Island on southern Pacific into NZL/AUS remote unit posts
from the south. S=8 more than fair signal !
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews July 7)
CUBA 17705 RHC La Habana's Spanish service discovered and noted
surprisingly in dowunder Pacific at 0000-0100 UT slot.
S=6-7 signal strength, - similar level like AWR KDSA Guam's Burmese service
on 17650 kHz and Mandarin service on 17880 kHz at same time.
RHC La Habana // 15230 S=4-5 weak, 11760 S=7 signals.
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews July 7)
PAKISTAN 15485 Not so bad signal heard tonight from Islamabad on the
remote SDR unit in Australia downunder. R PAK Urdu was early on air, noted
at 0031 UT July 7 - scheduled on 15490 kHz ! from 0045 UT, S=7 fair level,
drums + local singer noted on powerful and somewhat cleaner modulation
quality. I guess the moved 5 kHz down - always suppose my notes drawing is
correct, midst on deept European night.

CHINA. 15170, July 5 at 0530 I am hearing fluttery Chinese instead of
Arabic from Saudi Arabia as earlier. Aoki shows BSKSA at 03-06 collides with
CRI in Chinese at 04-06, first hour via Kashi-Saibagh 2022 site in Mandarin,
this hour in Cantonese via Jinhua Youbu 831 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

UNIDENTIFIED. 15150, July 5 at 0449, the 1 kHz continuous tone test is back
24 hours after last heard. It`s a good steady signal, lite fading, quite
unlike 15170 Saudi and 15110 Tatarstan non, both poor with flutter, so I
doubt it`s Iran. This time I stay awake until 0530 to hear what happen when
Iran is supposed to start this frequency in Arabic. Tone and carrier cut off
just in time at 0529, but nothing further audible. If these keep up, would
those with direxional antennas or other means of locating source please try
to do so! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
CHINA. Firedrake, July 5 before 1300:
13795 fair at 1225
Otherwise only CNR1 to be heard on ex-FD frequencies:
15900, fair at 1220 and still at 1258
13970, very poor with het at 1258
13830, poor at 1258; none audible in the 12s, 14s, 16s, 17s
