Subject: [WOR] IRIB Arabic section started using 11690 KHz

Hello Dxers
I picked up the Arabic section of IRIB (with a fair Audio for a change) on 11690 KHz around 9:00 UTC in my QTH in Cairo Egypt
They used to be on 15135 KHz around that time of the day with only a carrier on but no Audio for sometime. But today 15135 was off not even a carrier.
Best 73 and good DX

What is the station on 15730?  View Printable Version 
Friday, March 13 2026

HCDX
Iran International is a London-based TV channel operated by Volante

Media UK Ltd. It is backed by a Saudi-British investor with ties to the

Saudi government. Iran has declared it to be a terrorist organisation

accused of inciting riots. GH


BULGARIA / IRAN target radio
Yes 15750.300 kHz relay from
Iranian London TV (owned by Saudi Arabia)
by Spaceline Ltd. Sofia Kostinbrod Bulgaria related
replaced by
!5730.300 kHz noted 17.50 UT today,

But on 5884.983 kHz heard a exact 1000 Hertz whistle audio test tone
at 17.58 UT too,
parked here – likely – by Iran jamming audio from
SW Sirjan site,
on wait til Kostinbrod start then on 5885.300 kHz.

15730 currently is the (opposition) Iran International TV audio, SW is probably via Bulgaria.

Parallel (with a long delay) the live feed at https://www.iranintl.com/live

The daytime SW frequency was 15750 earlier in the week but moved a couple of days ago, presmuably to avoid Iranian jamming.
Look out for parallel on 17900 in the daytime and 5885 in the evening.

As I cannot find any listing for this strong strength station apparently in Arabic, can any BDXC member assist?

Since 1720 tune-in to currently, it seems to be a news service about the Middle East problems, including excerpts, in English, of Trump's speeches.

Voice of Vietnam on 11913.43 kHz  View Printable Version 
Thursday, March 12 2026

HCDX
That’s not new spurious matter of o n e of the 5 x SW transmitters in Son
Tay.

Happened few times in past decade also.

VIETNAM 11885 kHz Some bad accompanied audio strings happened again on
the VoVTN outlet from Son Tay, French service at 1900-19.56 UT. Happened
ome ? 5 years ago in 31 mb of Son Tay TX outlet. Today heard VTN Son Tay
on exact 9730 kHz underneath CRI Portuguese on CO-CHANNEL bad fqy coordi-
nation.

11885 kHz Son Tay suffered by bad sideband strings heard and seen 7, and
9 and 17.5 kHz apart away distance on both sidebands too. 11903 kHz
approx. too. on 11895 kHz CRI Kashi in Cantonese language also covered.

[selected SDR options, span 12.5 kHz RBW 15.3 Hertz]
(wb df5sx, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews April 1, 2025)


and in May 2021 too:

VIETNAM To: Phong Tieng Duc Ban Doi Ngoai <deutsch_vov -at- yahoo.com>
Side broadcasts from 9730 kHz Hanoi Son Tay.

Dear editors of the German broadcasts,

I wanted to let you know that your station on the frequency 9730 kHz
also has side emissions on 9704 and 9754 kHz that can be heard in Europe.
The


main frequency is currently (1850 UTC) 35433.
Best regards, Dr. Hansjoerg Biener, May 12.

Re: Side emissions from 9730 kHz Hanoi Son Tay.
Hj. These are the old Made in USSR transmitters, around 30 years old, in the
Son Tay


transmission center west of Hanoi.

One of the six transmitters has a control fault and produces
audio track strings, always 8 kHz apart,
like a garden fence – visible on the software screen,
e.g. in the Perseus RX screen.

This has been happening on and off for at least a decade, recently more
often


in the 41 mb around 7280 kHz, but mostly in the 31 meter band,
when the 6th - faulty - transmitter is in use.

Tonight, 9730 kHz is actually covered by a 500 kW system, by CRI
Portuguese music program from the center of Kashi-Kashgar,
powerhouse S=9+50dB or -21dbm, a really crazy strong signal from
Kashgar Tibet, on the Kyrgyz border.

The German—now English—program from Hanoi Son Tay is best heard today
on 9706 and 9754 kHz, from 16:00 to 22:00 UTC;
otherwise the garden fence on both sides, shows exact transmitter strings at
the


9738, 9746, 9754, and 9762 kHz frequencies upperside,
and 9690, 9698, 9706, 9714, and 9722 kHz frequencies lowerside.

VIETNAM To: Phong Tieng Duc Ban Doi Ngoai <deutsch_vov -at- yahoo.com>

Nebenausstrahlungen von 9730 kHz Hanoi Son Tay.
Werte Redaktion der deutschen Sendungen,
ich wollte Ihnen kurz mitteilen, dass Ihr Sender auf der Frequenz 9730 kHz
auch in Europa hoerbare Nebenausstrahlungen auf 9704 und 9754 kHz hat. Die
Hauptfrequenz ist aktuell (1850 UTC) mit 35433 zu hoeren.
Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Dr. Hansjoerg Biener, May 12.

Re: Nebenausstrahlungen von 9730 kHz Hanoi Son Tay.

Hj. das sind die ollen Made in USSR Sender, um die 30 Jahre alt im Son Tay
Sendezentrum westlich von Hanoi,

Einer von den 6 Sendern hat einen Fehler in der Steuerung, und produziert
Audio Spur Strings, immer in 8 kHz Distanz zwischen den Strings entfernt,
wie ein Gartenzaun dargestellt - sichtbar auf dem Software Screen,
z.B. im Perseus RX screen,

dies seit mindestens einem Jahrzehnt tritt immer mal auf, letztens oefters
auch im 41 mb rund um 7280 kHz, aber meist im 31 Meterband,
wenn der 6. - fehlerhafte - Sender im Einsatz ist.

Heute Abend ist 9730 kHz eigentlich durch eine 500 kW Anlage, durch CRI
Portugiesisches Musikprogramm aus dem Zentrum Kashi-Kashgar zugedeckt,
powerhouse S=9+50dB oder -21dbm, ein wirklich irre starkes Signal aus
Kashgar Tibet, an der Kirgisengrenze.

Das deutsche - jetzt englisches Programm - aus Hanoi Son Tay ist heute am
besten auf 9706 und 9754 kHz zu hoeren, von 16.00-22.00 UTC;

ansonsten der Gartenzaun beidseitig, zeigt genaue Senderstrings bei den
9738, 9746, 9754, und 9762 kHz Frequenzen upperside,
und 9690, 9698, 9706, 9714, und 9722 kHz Frequenzen lowerside.

I've seen this for a few days on many kiwi sdrs. Seems in parallel with VoV
on 11885 kHz.
With strongest signal on Twente SDR but it is audible all over Europe but
barely
audible in Asia/Pacific region. Presumed to be a spur from Son Tay, Hanoi
transmitter.
As I write this I see it also on 11856.52 kHz.

FT-2(Bill Smmith)  View Printable Version 
Thursday, March 12 2026

FT-2 is a new digital mode developed for amateur radio. Its transmission cycle is said to be 3.8 seconds as compared to FT-4 which is 7.5 seconds and FT-8 which is 15 seconds. So it is now possible to complete an amateur contact in less than 8 seconds. Currently, FT-8 is the most popular of the digital modes. Bill Smith, Douglas, MA
