Radio Farda, 11520 khz 1618-1748 utc 10/3

Heard some interesting programming on this station... It was the first time I'd heard it in a long time.  I think I logged it once before a few years ago.

I tuned into it by chance (I don't listen to the 25 meter band that much), to hear some Iranian language announcers and a lot of interesting music that sounded somewhat like a cross between Greek and Russian pop. 

It came in SIO354 on my Panasonic RF-B45, peaked at SIO455 around 1659 utc., and weakened thereafter.  I didn't hear any evidence of jamming, but I'm way off the side of the transmitter's beam, any jamming signals would have gone the other way.

Hearing it now (I assume this is what I am listening to) at 1719z, with a pretty good signal.
