This is a new frequency in use by the BBC for “listeners in Ukraine” (I’m sure news in English not related to Ukraine is very helpful for them) from a transmitter possibly in Europe. I can hear it here in the morning in BC Canada.

Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using an SDRPlay RSP1A for SWL with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet. Kenwood TS-570D for ham use.

(Excellent Shortwave_Listener): 16-1700gmt., 12.025,  An extended commentary 'bout Ukraine, Finland joining NATO (I think), a BBC employee in Finland adding to discussion, signal good, shallow fading; 17-1800gmt., news more talk (didn't listen this hr.); 1800gmt., news, talk about care givers in NYC/covid, signal worsening but still ok.
Thanks for the info.

According to the BBC website, 12025 Khz is used between 1500 & 1900 UTC to the Middle East. Their website doesn't specify the language used. During the same time period, 12025 Khz is used to broadcast to South Asia, so my guess is that it might be in English.

So, my guess is that you heard the BBC, maybe the beam aimed at Iran, Central Asia, and Afghanistan, as it's also roughly aimed over the pole towards the NW US.

If I'd been casually tuning around and heard the BBC these day's with a good signal,I would've had to change my underwear.
