The external service VOIRI/Pars Today uses the same time signal chimes as R. Iran. I can hear VOIRI Tajik via Tayebad now at 1540 on 720 kHz and I think it is also your UNID on 1098 kHz with time announcement. I don't hear R. Iran now at all. Maybe Mahidasht has moved to 558 kHz. Mauno Nick H

There are apparently a couple of Iranians on the channel, Gary. Both broadcast Radio Iran, but one of them only at certain times, and 1530UT wasn't one of them according to MWList. It's all pretty speculative based on wispy chimesfun to dream. Nick At 04:07 2019-01-06, Gary DeBo

With conditions like this, all that's left is to go over old recordings. The morning of 24 December was pretty interesting in that Iran on 1098 was heard here. Going over the SDR recordings, there are ever so faint traces of the R. Iran chimes also on 585 and 720 at 1530UT on 24 December. D
