15177 to 15203 kHz. Despite Kashi's 100 kW unit is beamed towards 173
degr, zone 41W, which is not main lobe towards Europe, but back lobe

Strongest stn in 49mb noted on 6020 kHz. ID as La Voix de Turkie, Ankara,
in French, at 0530-0600 UT, S=9 +20dB. Many items on Albanian and Serbian
national problems in Kosovo. TRT not scheduled at this time. French is
registered at 2030-2130 on 6050 and 7155 instead.
Also TRT in Unknown Azeri?/Turkmen? like language on 7240 at same time
0500-0600 UT, underneath DWL Sines English sce co-channel. Both 6020 and
7240 are TRT scheduled in English at 0400-0500 UT.
So supposedly another example of "on-air maintenance" by technicians at
TRT Emirler tx site.

UKRAINE 7440 Since Jan 25, RUI Kiev will change frequency 5820 on[to]
7440 kHz for translations on North America with 0000 up to 0500 UTC. The
reason: complaints of students on bad reception on 5820 in America (it is
obvious because of conditions of passage of radiowaves and Handicapes from
WEWN c 5810 ???), and in Europe and vicinities - from "espionage" Stations
YHF2. The Russian stations on 7 are audible well. Besides spring not far
off - increase of frequency inevitably.

North America would be 0100-0200 and 0400-0500 on new 7440, ex5820.

[Clandestine to Iran] 6225 R. International 1755 Presumed this one with
woman's voice; brief music at 1757 faded down for more talk till 1816,
when into vocal. Woman again at 1818 soon joined by man; language might
have been Farsi, but signal too weak and fady to be sure. Woman's voice
sounded like the same one on 6245 (R. Zamaneh), though they weren't //.
Off at 1830 without ceremony. Sked is listed as *1730-1830* UT via
Mykolaiv, Ukraine, the same site as Zamaneh.
