** IRAN. 11675, Dec 29 at 1405, fair signal in Russian, interspersed with dramatic stingers, mentioning Iran, as appropriate since it`s VIRI, 1320-1420, 500 kW, 336 degrees from Sirjan. which is somewhat SE of the center of Iran. As you might guess, that azimuth is dead-on Moskva, and beyond crosses Greenland exiting at what was Sondrestrom Air Base until 1992, Americans on the DEW line --- and right on to Enid!
