Nameless pro-Stalinist pirate 7200 AM 1440 UTC 8 Nov 2014

Some nameless station is broadcasting regularly for several days on 7200 kHz (AM). S/off is always at 1500 UTC, the time of s/on is unknown. No any IDs or announcements, only various anti-American and anti-Semitic pro-Stalin songs non-stop.

According to information from Internet, it's "4th Comintern Radio Station". The origin of the signal is South-West of Russia, TX power is 1 kW.

Heard yesterday and today with strong and stable signal, both on telescopic whip antenna and 80 mb dipole.

That must have been what I heard there last night. The hams on 40 meters were jamming the crap out of it.

I first heard it on Sat. or Sun. From the content, I thought North Korea had found a new place to squat.

The two times I've heard it, makes me think they're running a hair more than 1 kW if they're where they claim to be.

Let me add that the two times I've heard them the time has been roughly 3:00 UTC.

Thanks for the replies.

This station is still broadcasting routinely, however no any announcements were heard yet. It has been observed yesterday on the same frequency. Assumed broadcast time is 1200 till 1500 UTC. No idea, If they are active at  some other time slots.

Not to be confused with The Voice of Islamic Republic of Iran in Kazakh language (1520 -1620 UTC on 7200 kHz). Also Myanmar Radio is listed for this frequency in QRG bases (2200-0300 and 0930-1255 UTC).
