U.K./AFGHANISTAN R. Solh, on 17700 [500kW via Rampisham-UK 1200-1800
UT], 1457 26 March, music till 1458. "The song" at 1458 till 1500 / heard
time pip at 1500 UT. ID shortly after. Into other music. The male
announcer sounds like an American speaking Dari or Pashto. Fairly good
here for night path in this band. Will spend some time to get the
languages, and try to record "the song". Our local Afghan employees will
tell me what it is. They say this kind of group music is common here. Will
spend some time on this one. Heard past 1514.

The contract to transmit the signal is switching from BT to VT
