9835 kHz festival, hi:
IRAN 9835 exact minus a half Hertz. Noted at 17.21 UT on Dec 25.
IRIB Russian language section at new time,
S=9 in central and northern Europe,
but signal peak more southwards from Iran,
heard rather S=9+15dB strength in Italy, Greece
and Austrian-Yugoslav border area.
Former IRIB Russian given as Sirjan site 500 kW at 336degr azimuth.
The whole technical and program schedule moderate IRIB behavior
in Iran can only be accepted with a violent shake of the head.
On the other hand to compare, Cuba SW Radio is an oasis of wellbeing. 😊
