It doesn’t appear patterns are there.   They used to be on fccdata.org but
aren’t anymore

Fccinfo.com has patterns, they might not be as accurate as possible, but
area good starting pointi guess

Thanks Paul.   A nice Christmas present, so a merry one to you also.

I'll have to poke around that site, and see if there are patterns also.

Yes, Asianet Radio was heard here at 1500 and 1600 on 1539 kHz.

Nick Hall-Patch kirjoitti 25.12.2018 klo 8:12:

I was out of town for a day and left the SDR to do the listening.   It did 
rather a good job; I wish I'd been there to help it along with parallels and 
such.

It wasn't so much that there were east Asians hammering in, it was the over the 
pole evidence.   Unless the three ascending chimes are used on the half hour by 
someone other than Iran on 1098, thenIran was coming in on 1098, half an 
hour before my local sunrise.   And who might Indian influenced pop music on 
1539 be?   And that Iranian jammer on 1575 was just thundering at times.  Files 
will probably be worth a second listen

Oddly, NHK2 signed off at 1440UT today, leaving carriers on.








pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least 
briefly):

not quite, though the jammer on 1575 came close at times




Reasonable audio at  times during the period (much of it understandable by a 
native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise):

594 JOAK 1530UT

639 CNR1 assumed, two men in Chinese 1516UT, but no parallels

972 HLCA 1519UT

1539 Asianet? Indian influenced pop music 1518UT and at various times later; 
good at 1547UT with man in unID language; Malayalam?

1575 Iran jammer, first heard 1443:30UT, sudden appearance quite strong, so, 
early and often , as heard until after 1600UT

1575 VoA woman in SE Asian language, Burmese listed, 1553UT; had heard weaker 
VoA ID at 1530UT; also noted strong quite good at 1601UT, but nothing on the 
hour






not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could 
be understood by a native speaker:

567 JOIK //594 1554UT

1098 Iran.  piano music, man talking slowly, 3 ascending chimes typical for 
Iran, 1530UT; completely unexpected, to say the least.

1566 HLAZ? choral music 1555UT



Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by 
cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music)

576 vaguely oriental sounding vocal music 1521UT

702 portentous music 1522UT made me think North Korea, but woman talking 1523 
and 1526UT sounded too laid back.  No idea?

837 man talking; Tagalog?  Again, no clue at this point

855 orchestral music, 1529UT N. Korea?

936 man talking, didn't sound Chinese though; 1544UT

1287 man talking, Japanese intonation, pip on hour, 1600UT

1323 woman talking, Russian intonation



Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged 
by splatter)

603 621 675   747 756 774 819 828  846 864 891 909 918 945 1026 1107 1116 1215 
1332  1422  1458 seemed to be Asian;
  nothing much  seemed  to be DU


best wishes,

Nick

Last night 702 kHz carried FRENCH at ! At 0059 it was probably in

1323 kHz was still off. At 0200, 0300 and 0400 702 and 1323 were //, in

Yes, they did rather.   A bit unfortunate, having a DX opening on 
Christmas Eve.


Here, Farda was logged on 1575 at 0028UT  with weak piano music 
parallel to its webstream, during a fade down in the Iranian jammer.


And 702 kept fading up with everything from an old man carrying on (an 
interview?) 0034UT, some sort of stringed instrument like a guitar 
0055UT, and  then male chanting (Koranic?)0101UT.   The same program 
was heard on SDRs in Ukraine and Russia, but not in Sardinia, so 
strongly suspect this was Iran external service? There is supposed be 
an Azeri program broadcast starting at 0320UT, but it has been heard 
earlier, according to Mauno Ritola.   I was hoping that the listed 
1323 parallel was available, but couldn't find it on any of the 
KiwiSDRs.  And, although there seems to be a website for the Azeri 
program stream, it doesn't seem to work?


best wishes,

Nick
