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

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.
