** IRAN. We all saw IRIB TV studio getting bombed and newsperson
fleeing. This led to some apparently exaggerated assumptions about
Iran`s entire broadcasting; via Ron Trotto, IL:

Before this, but recently, a number of MW frequencies were
reconfirmed.
What about SW? Last sked broadcast of day is 1920-2020 English with
bunch of extra, alternate? frequencies in HFCC, 9830, 9835, 11680,
11740, 11850, 11950. I think 11740 was axually heard? UTwente is
getting considerable signal on 11740.008+ but barely modulated music,
1945 UT.
Wolfgang Bueschel agrees: ``IRIB gone - no, no. not - still on air.
11740.011 kHz at 2007 UT. PERSIA IRIB Sirjan in English on 11740.011
kHz just received in Athens and Doha Qata, S=9+35dB, requested
1920-2020 UT``
Ron Trotto-WDX4KWI, Virden, Illinois at 2022: ``Wide-band WebSDR in
Enschede, the Netherlands heard something very briefly by female very
weak then off in mid sentence on 11740. Must have been Israeli
propaganda being reported about the antennas. Sorry for that but weak
in Europe on the sdr in the Netherlands.``
Ron Howard, Monterey CA: ``UT June 17 - On 11740 in English, via Kiwi
SDR remote in Saudi Arabia; 2018 UT, talking about the Iran military,
with brief music before 2019*; poor reception. My unedited remote
audio attached. Ron``
The IRIB HQ building may have been `destroyed` or heavily damaged, but
not the SW transmitter site Sirjan, and they could easily? originate
radio from some other studio.
The only other English broadcast registered is at 1520-1620 on 11640
or 11645 and/or 11710. IRIB`s Hebrew broadcast may be of interest:
1150-1220 on 15150 or 15430. I wonder how hard it was to find
anti-Israel Hebrew-speaking announcers? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 15500 S9+10/30, 15520 S9+10, 15390 JBA, 17715 S9+20/30 =

with German IDs. 2300 accurate timesignal and s/on in German with
satellite info and 19m 15350 at 1130; only repeat is supposed to be at
1730 on 9840, not now! Finally wakes up and chops off just before

WOR)

Very weak, took multiple passes to copy; an even weaker one less than
1 kHz higher, and not much else. QRZ.com: ``KE4TWI USA flag USA, James

north of Lebanon. So Lebanon does not really have another SW station
