The Farsi-language Numbers-Station broadcast again, today at 18:00 UTC. The signal was very weak here in 🇮🇹Milan and Central Europe. Pretty good in 🇬🇷Greece via SV2CSN webSDR. Ionospheric propagation of radio signals is a natural phenomenon. We will have better reception.

👀🇺🇸 EAM broadcast with very strong echo. EAMs are sometimes received with a slight echo, probably due to the simultaneous reception of multiple HFCGS transmitters, but I've never encountered such a strong echo before. Received in 🇮🇹Milan at 17:38 UTC April 19 2026

According to what is officially known, the 🇫🇷French Army uses 3881kHz and 6825kHz to send Morse code characters to train their guys in telegraphy. Impressive. Apparently, in 2026, they have no other way to train their personnell in Morse Code. RX in 🇮🇹Milan 01:20 UTC June10 2026

⚠️ 🚨The jamming signal on 7910kHz that is blocking the Farsi/Persian-language Numbers-Station broadcasts, is identical to the jamming that has long been disrupting “Radio Farda”, an anti-Iranian regime shortwave station. We can now say that jamming is of Iranian origin.
