A new Kurdish radio station identifying itself as the Voice of the
Kurdistan Democratic Party was observed on 5 January. It was noted on-air
for 30 minutes from 0400 to 0430. The broadcast consisted of 15 minutes
continuous music and 15 minutes announcements.
The station identified in Kurdish as "Erah Radyoy Dengi Kurdistana" and in
Persian "Im Radyo Seda-ye Kordestan-e". The station, which broadcast on
3930 kHz, signed-off at 0429.
The Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (KDP-I, or PDKI) already operates a
radio station called the Voice of Iranian Kurdistan.
This new station is possibly operated by a group which broke away from the
KDP-I last month - an item on the Kurdish Media website explains, stating:
"These former comrades have fabricated the PDKI's name for their new
organization, this will cause confusion..." However, the article
doesn't give the name of the breakaway organization.

On 10 Jan at 1630 (sign-on) noted clandestine station Voice of the
Kurdistan Democratic Party on 3925.1 in Kurdish. At 1726 a Farsi program
started. S-off around 1800. Strong signal and no jammers at all. This was
reported earlier (by BBC_M 5 Jan via dxld) to be on air 0400-0430 on 3930.

What is the "true" name of this station? The BBC_M item said that "it
identified itself as the Voice of the Kurdistan Democratic Party", and
stated that the station identification in Kurdish was "Erah Radyoy Dengi
Kurdistana" and in Farsi "Im Radyo Seda-ye Kordestan-e". This would be
"Radio Voice of Kurdistan" rather than "Voice of the Kurdistan Democratic
Party". Maybe what BBC_M meant was that the station name is "Radio Voice
of Kurdistan", and that the station presented itself as the moucepeace of
the Kurdistan Democratic Party, without having this station name? Does the
station use "Voice of the Kurdistan Democratic Party" in the
announcements, as ID or as additional slogan?
