For the first time I heard this 16.30 UT Iran target special today Sat Febr 7
1630-1700 daily ME 702sla, 9465sla BBC Oman A'Seela is only on par with the Iranian parallel channel station. Yes Oman is on air on even 702.000 kHz at 16.30 UT, but suffers both on different receivers remotedly on KIWI net at Doha SDR in Middle East as well as in Perseus unit at Doha Qatar too, BBC Oman is equal level as of this probably MW Iranian on 701.978 kHz. 22 Hertz distance away with same S=9+10dB signal level. So maybe in other parts of far south eastern Iran/PAK border the BBC ENC A'Seela Oman signal 702 kHz will be better in quality for the local Persian audience, I guess. SW Oman is exact 9465even kHz, S=9+40dB powerhouse signal b u t probably the Iranians at Sirjan set a 1000 Hertz whistle tone jamming transmission on the lower frq flank, also co-channel on exact 9464 kHz. 73 wolfie Febr 7 -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- From: Mauno_Ritola via groups.io
