Some good reception of stations in the 13mb here. Vatican had 3 freqs going with New Year's Day services, too. Also, some strange technical problems with Kuwait on 21580. Will be interesting to see if they have fixed it by tonight!!
21510   IRAN. VOIRI - Kamalabad. English to SAs at 1033 with a news program, noted the s/off as 1130 with good reception on Jan 1.
21520   IRAN. VOIRI - Sirjan. S/on 1120 for the Hausa service to WAf, ID at 1123 and anthem, fair to poor signal on Jan 1.
21550   VATICAN. Vatican R. - SM Galeria. New Year's Day service at 1025, Latin translated into English for EAf, weak signal on Jan 1.
21560   VATICAN. Vatican R. - SM Galeria. New Year's Day service at 1020, Latin translated into Portuguese for EAf, an even weaker signal than 21570. Then noted later at 1103 with Italian programming and a much stronger signal (possibly a different beam heading?) on Jan 1.
21570   VATICAN. Vatican R. - SM Galeria. New Year's Day service at 0950, Latin translated into French for WAf, weak signal on Jan 1.
21580   KUWAIT. R. Kuwait. Filipino service at 1010 PLUS another transmission on the same frequency with a broadcast in Arabic. Suddenly at 1040, the Filipino broadcast disappeared leaving the Arabic program. Then at 1046, both Filipino and Arabic again. Was Kuwait putting out two different feeds at the same time here? Whoops - wrong switch! It must have been a VERY good new year's eve for them! Jan 1.
21600   IRAN. VOIRI - Sirjan. Running // with 21520 for the Hausa service, Qur'an at 1127, fair signal, Jan 1.
21670   SAUDI ARABIA. BSKSA - Riyadh. Indonesian at 0940, fair signal, Jan 1.
Have a great 2015 everyone!
