The broadcast was definitely in an Arabic language, and I suspect it emanated from Iran.

It was probably an anti-state broadcaster hampered by jamming from the Iranian government. 

However, jamming sideband broadcasts is not totally effective due to the unpredictability of propagation at this time of the year.  :)

Propagation / Re: Strange propagation 22 Sep 2019
« on: September 23, 2019, 0416 UTC »
''Strange propagation tonight 22 Sep 2019
maybe from 19 UTC  to 21 UTC (or later ?)
for SW signals (in 5 to 7 MHz at least)
varying from deep fades to huge booming signals.''

Ray, I did notice this too, but I wasn't paying particular attention
to the times when the SW signals were at their strongest.

(I was listening to free radio stations and some legal broadcasters on 6 Megs as well as 3.9 megs.)

Yep,

Roaring in on UK SDR.

Almost peaking at S9 plus 20db at times.

However, USB QRM down frequency from 3905 Khz hampered reception at times.

Dutch DJ's English was easy to comprehend.

General Radio Discussion / Re: Last chance to hear WMR on 5840 and 15805 kHz
« on: September 20, 2019, 0117 UTC »
Posted by: ChrisSmolinski

In a completely unexpected move the Danish authorities has withdrawn the
permission to use out of band frequencies (on a non interference basis) for
World Music Radio (WMR). This means that WMR will be ceasing operations on
5840 and 15805 kHz tomorrow Sunday September 15th 2009 at 2200 UTC.
WMR may return to shortwave – using frequencies inside the official SW bands
– but this may take several months.

Meanwhile WMR continues being available via internet streaming at www.wmr.dk
– and hopefully also soon on medium wave 927 kHz in Copenhagen.

Reception reports may be sent to wmr@wmr.dk - or to World Music Radio, PO
Box 112, DK-8960 Randers SŘ, Denmark (please enclose return postage).

Best 73s
Stig Hartvig Nielsen,

I confirm that the internet stream below has no buffering problems here in Hohhot city of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region despite China's great firewall.  :) :) :)

General Radio Discussion / Re: Pirate DAB multiplexes take to the air in Dublin and Cork
« on: September 20, 2019, 0045 UTC »
At the speed Frank is rolling out "FreeDAB" (currently also testing in Dundalk and rumour that Sligo is next), it won't be long before
he has greater coverage than the legal DAB operated by RTE. And with a greater range of stations.

There has being independent DAB in Ireland on trial basis. DB (Digital Broadcasting) in Dublin, Total Broadcast in the South East
and most recently EireDAB in Cork and a test setup from RTE's studios in Dublin. All off air now.

Whilst I'm not sure that the publicity he is getting is going to be good for him, it might spur the BAI to consider licencing independent ops and
stop giving in to the whims of the FM stations.

Thanks for analysing the situation there rather well, Brian.

I agree with what you say about the attitude of the BAI to FM stations.

OZ-Viola is licensed by the Danish authorities. On Facebook this week he said he will keep broadcasting until his licence is due for renewal in a few months time.

Thanks for the update, ukdxer.

Presumably, he hasn't got a hope in hell of being allowed to renew his licence once his current one expires.  :(

Bad news indeed, but the situation there is what it is. We can do nothing to alter it.  :(

Shortwave Broadcast / Re: World Music Radio 5840 AM last day 15 Sep 2019
« on: September 19, 2019, 0411 UTC »
on 5840.0
1436 reggae music
Last day today on 5840 and 15805 kHz
because the Danish authorities suddenly withdrew the low power licence outside of the international broadcasting bands.
1442 ID, also in French
Maybe the station will come back inside an international broadcast band, but it will be hard to find a single frequency not badly interfered by powerful stations at the rush hours.
1446 more music
1638 music, 1639 reggae
2201 carrier, 2202 off

Bad news indeed, Ray.

However, though 15805 Khz is not within an international broadcasting band, 5840 Khz is within the 49 metre international broadcast band. That band starts at 5800 Khz and ends at 6200 Khz as far as I'm aware. (Ther're two legal stateside religious broadcasters, one on 5800 Khz and the other on 5830 Khz, audible right now via the German SDR at Asendorf.)
