BBC launches emergency lifeline radio programme for Iran

Saturday, February 07 2026


tsk tsk , this tranmission is rather difficult to be  heard in MW. inasfar as  i tested in all the S East  European kSDRs  there is a QRM from Romania --
OMAN  I find this 9465 / 702 kHz BBC Persian service announcement
in the 04:30–05:00 UT time slot confusing; or have I misunderstood
something?

Noted on Saturday Febr 7 at this time in ME/NE/Greece target Perseus SDR's
remotedly:

EMPTY Persian content channel audio:

9465.007 kHz slightly odd frq of S=9+20dB signal level continously
transmitting
a 1000 Hertz whistle tone at 04.35 UT,
last these 30 minutes outlet slot to 05.00 UT sharp switch-off.

Next channel is 9470.002 kHz service from China mainland domestic sce Urumqi
Xinjiang province.

702 kHz - nil signal mediumwave channel noted at Doha Qatar at 04.41 UT Sat
July 7.

Grey line at 04.45 UT in on Cyprus - Cairo EGY path
much far westerly in eastern mediterranean sea, but not in Saudi peninsula,
UAE nor Oman MW reception.

At same time observed religious US private shortwave station WINB on
9264.986 kHz S=9+20 into NE/ME, played US National Anthem in 04.58 to 05.00
UT time slot.

I was wondering about the site for 702 BBC - as Iran already has/had a 500
kW on 702;
what became of it? So BBC is Oman, surely not Saudi Arabia. Glenn

I checked at 2030 and I get it as 702.0000 kHz. Usual BBC/Encompass quality!
Best regards,
Mauno
