WORLDWIDE DX CLUB Weekly Top News

Iran seems to have a problem with some of it's txs - 13770 was awful here
this morning. Surely not running full 500 kW? And 15085 was only fair too.
How come they can't get a decent signal into Europe from Iran currently -
they used to do so.

At 1450 UT I hear Teheran in Russian on 9315 kHz and no digital signal.
(Olle Alm-SWE, wwdxc BC-DX June 27)
Yes, heard 1430-1527 UT Russian too, S=9 and accompanied digital signal
lower side, only // 9580 here, from Sirjan, a fifth second behind the LTU
signal.
Ahwaz signals not heard here, due of azimuth direction signal towards
Siberian Russia.

MALAYSIA 6050, Asyik FM (tent.) via RTM-Kajang (site presumed) (ex-
6025), June 24, 1131-1233, program of local mx and singing/chanting, ToH
news, 1215 DJ with pop songs (phoned-in requests), many singing station ID
jingles and spoken IDs for what tentatively seemed like "Asyik FM". Fair-
poor. This was the strongest Malaysian heard today. Both 6175 and 9750
totally covered by strong stations, nothing heard under them.
Received this e-mail from Alan Davies: I heard Suara Islam signing off
with the Malaysian national anthem Negaraku at 1700 UTC yesterday (23
June) on 6050 and 6175 kHz, both signals with similar signal strength.
6050 went off air at 1700, but 6175 continued with Suara MLA in Malay.
There was no Malaysian signal audible on 6025, so it certainly looks as
though 6050 is via Kajang ex-6025. I believe 9750 was // with 6175
throughout, but 9750 was difficult to confirm because of poor propagation
and co-channel interference. As I recall, I last heard Sibu on 6050 around
April 2004, when it was carrying local programmes in various langs
including Malay and Iban from RTM Sibu all day with the id 'Sibu FM'. Best
regards, Alan Davies (Surabaya, INS). Thank you Alan for your input!

6049.59, RTM, (Sibu presumed), 1008-1030 June 26. Noted the usual type of
EZL mx with a man in comments between tunes. At 1017 noted a conversation
between a man and woman. Couldn't distinguish the lang being used. Sounded
Oriental. Signal was poor at tune in, but began to fade in to a fair level
around 1020. At 1030 HCJB comes up and completely blocks the freq.
