Good signals with occasional deep fades. 1584 25 AUG, 2032 UTC, IRAN, IRIB Maku, running national program with male and female announcers, // with just about every other outlet on the mediumwave band. Very strong signals with minimal QRM for ony 10kW. 12585 25 AUG, 1240 UTC, GUAM (US) US Coast Guard Station NRV with SITOR/CW marker and fair signals, no interference. Sleep was elusive last night, so I decided to do a mediumwave bandscan.
