864 kHz: looks like IRIB Radio Kermanshah had slipped off-freq to 863.8442 and likely also boosted its power, surely in an effort to jam co-channel Iran International via Gavar🇦🇲 (and the Quran station from Egypt). #mediumwave #mwdx #Iran #IranWar #jamming

738 kHz: IRIB Radio Bushehr, off to 737.951, much better than usual w/ Shabhaye Iran network px. Wow! #mediumwave #mwdx #Aurora

810 kHz: SBA Holy Quran alone on the frequency! Not surprised about BBC Radio Scotland missing due to #Aurora, but... where is IRIB Radio Lorestan?! (EDIT: eventually I did hear it later in the background) #mediumwave #mwdx

Apparently there's a BIG #Aurora going on tonight 😮 Must be it... must be it... BBC Radio 5 Live is almost COMPLETELY KNOCKED OUT on 909 kHz, uncovering IRIB Radio Kerman, Sirjan, 150kW @ 3715km. Offset 908.9617 acc. to my SDR, probably more like .9613 really. NEW LOG! #mediumwave #mwdx

Has #Iran started doing co-channeling the China way? I'm seeing as many as 3 or 4 carriers on 1548 kHz, accompanying Voice of Trump Farsi via Kuwait🇰🇼 -- and that's with the small terminated Flag NULLING the Middle East! OK, one is an impostor, Radio Islam 🇿🇦. But others? #mediumwave #IranWar

864 kHz: an extended late-night #Ramadan prayer service with lots of consecutive Allahu Akbar's running on NMA Holy Quran 🇪🇬 // SBA Radio Riyadh & SBA Holy Quran 🇸🇦! Was clobbered by co-ch Iran International via Gavar🇦🇲 until 2305z when it went dead-air (carrier is still there). #mediumwave #mwdx

1314 kHz: Radio Oltenia briefly on beyond usual 0400-2000z schedule, with a radio play involving some witch incantations. Next to 1323 IRRS w/ Latin American mx, 16 Gwendoline Street? @[email protected]? #mediumwave #mwdx

Regular Radio Six Mediumwave Transmissions on Saturdays, and other Radio News

Japan / Middle East

On shortwave, Radio Japan (or NHK) have reportedly expanded their transmissions for Japanese citizens in the Middle East since early March, from the usual plus/minus six hours to 24 hours a day. The program is meant to serve Japanese citizens in Iran in particular, as both internet and international phone connections may be difficult to access there.

It is believed that in addition to the usual NHK Radio content, information that may be of use for Japanese citizens in Iran is added to the program. Details are provided by the NHK website, with transmissions on frequencies both from Yamata in Japan, and Issoudun in France.

Israel

On 1287 kHz medium wave, Galei Zahal is back. Another frequency from Israel appears to be 945 kHz, but that’s not necessarily Galei Zahal.

Britain / France

Update, Mar 14:1st regular transmission postponed, now March 21

Tony Currie has announced regular Radio Six International mediumwave transmission on Saturday nights at 23:00 UTC, next one on March 14 (this Saturday) on 1467 kHz, via Romoules in southeastern France. The program is titled "Midnight Rendezvous", and on March 7, it featured songs from continental Europe, not least in French. The signal came in rather well here in northwestern Germany, on a Sony ICF-2001D receiver without anything but its built-in ferrite antenna.
