** 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:
https://thedefensepost.com/2025/06/17/iran-tv-radio-disappear-israel/
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 =
stronger on SAm than NAm beam, Mon June 16 at 2200, token English from
SNR, preview to be about 600th anniversary of Roma arrival in Spain;
both Amy & Marilyn, 2201 news leads with Israel vs Iran attax (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.006-, June 16 at 2158 direct, VOT JBA. At 2235 into
UTwente when measured, music at S9+20/30; 2253 s/off as if 1230 on
17620, something`s always awry at Ankara; 2254 IS. 2256 restart IS
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
2309*. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.006+, June 17 at 2200 direct, JBA carrier from VOT,
but at 2225 into UTwente when measured, S9+20/35 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 28205 CW approx., June 16 at 2204, Ex10 DE KE4TWI/B EM66.
WGB list: ``28204.8 KE4TWI/B - Lebanon TN USA EM66 - #0 (18 Mar 2025)
Note: de + ID + incomplete grid + E x 10 - Ant vertical dipole 12w``.
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
W Tewmey, 402 Karlee Court, Lebanon, TN 37087 - KE4TWI/B 28.2048 MHz
is on the air near Adolphus, KY (em66) with 10 watts to a vertical
dipole`` Adolphus is barely over the state line about 29 miles due
north of Lebanon. So Lebanon does not really have another SW station
besides WTWW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 28395 USB, June 16 at 2208, CQ10 from KK4QHN. QRZ.com:
``KK4QHN USA flag USA, Allan C Hood, 312 MCINTURFF RD, Limestone, TN
37681``. Limestone is between Johnson City and Greeneville in eastern
TN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2299 monitoring: confirmed Monday
June 16 at 1931 on SW Radio, Germany, 6160.000+ S9/+15 and 3975.002+
S9+5/10 into UTwente.?
Also confirmed UT Tuesday June 17 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+15/30 into
S Texas SDR.?
Barely confirmed Tuesday June 17 at 1307 the 1300 on WRMI, S9 JBA
direct.
Also barely confirmed Tuesday June 17 at 1400 on WRI 9955, S5 WOR
theme JBA direct. At 1426 into Georgia SDR, S9+20 VG.?
Confirmed Tuesday June 17 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323v,
S5/S7 into Parma SDR. As often happens, previous program discussing
satellites was chopped off at 1959.5 for ID and then WOR. Next:
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW;
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;

** U S A. 5980, June 17 at 0638, JBA carrier, WWCR leapfrog mixing
product since despite Tuesdayness, 5890 is on with S9+35/40 of dead
air direct, across the fulcrum on 5935 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1490, June 17 at 0646 UT, ``radio, 93.5`` mentioned. WTFDA
FMDB shows 4 stations with 93.5 translators, in NC, NY, KY --- and
most likely the closest, KDMO in Carthage MO. NRC AM Log also has KDMO
as ``Music Radio 93.5`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
