15150 Voice of the Islamic Repulbic of Iran, Sirjan. 1318-1414 Ut on Sept
9. Good. Arabic programming with man and woman punctuated by Iranian
classical music bed brought up louder for a few seconds between items,
into Quran recital from 1331 UT. Parallel very poor 13800 kHz Zahedan
site, which co-channel someone with Spanish Jesus talk. Maybe still VoIRI
the one, someone in Arabic at 1546 UT spot check.

ISRAEL 15760 I can confirm that Kol Israel in Persian is now on 15760
kHz, noted around 1400/1410 UT with an endless monologue of a somewhat
unsure announcer, reading out one item about Israel vs. Palestine after
another. Strong signal with no trace of Iranian jamming. And no trace of a
signal on 13850 or 11595 or 9985 kHz. A bunch of frequencies is registered
for this service, but as far as I'm aware never more than two transmitters
have been used for it.

Re: Israel Persian.
15760 KOL in Persian the stronger one here in Germany, S=9+10dB at 1445
UT, Sept 5. The other on 13850 kHz very tiny S=2 only signal, traced only
when Eton E1 synchronous detection option locked on.
No Iranian jamming observed today, but IRIB 15150 kHz from Sirjan in
Arabic was similar weak as Meyerton 15400 kHz S=3.
