Hi,
thanks a lot Björn Fransson and Mauno Ritola for the work done on pinning down the
name of the
station. Tikrit surely fits my recording from Feb 5, at 1911. The name of the town
struck me as very familiar, and of course, it's Saddam Hussein's birthplace. And it
has been in the news as a storage area for weapons of mass-destruction. Historically
wellknown in many fields.
I can only speculate about the real motives for the choice of name for this station.
Another psychological tidbit in the war for minds ? Now we can probably only wait for
what the BBCMS and other broadcast intelligence sources have to say about it. CRW ?
A Google search for Tikrit made me end up reading the Israeli weekly web-mag Debka.
Quite a lot to consume. No wonder I get some huge phone bills from time to time.
