AFGHANISTAN [see also under INDIA] Radio Afghanistan was noted sign on
at 0100 on MW 1107 kHz with lot of IDs. They were also noted at 2330
earlier with Ramadan prayers. On 1296 Ashna Radio (Radio Free Afghanistan)
of VOA group was also heard very well. On the low power freq of 1602 kHz

Item Afghanistan 9345 kHz:
What Hans Johnson might have heard on 9345, per Eibi, was Peace Radio
which is located inside Afghanistan itself (located in Bagram), listed for
0030-1830; interesting as to how much power the transmitter had, being it
was audible on the Swedish DXTuner receiver. At 0100 he may have actually
heard North Korea signing on in English on the same channel, again per
Eibi, since China has nothing registered on 9345 (especially as the new
CRI listing from NDXC was released today).

R Peace 9345 is rather regular here in Finland, say after 1200 UT when the
channel is clear. N. Korea is not much a problem at that time, usually
much weaker than R Peace. When R Netherlands signs on via Tashkent, it
usually overrides R Peace, but not always. Later Israel is more a problem.
As reported, R Peace has long periods of non-stop Afghan mx. At times they
have nx at the BOH.
