IRIB Voice of Islamic Republic of Iran

 
LAST NIGHT (29 July 2024) I LISTENED TO THE VOICE OF ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN, transmitting from Sirjan. It's not always so easy to receive this station in Malaysia; often their transmitters emit a powerful carrier signal, but the actual audio is so faint one can barely detect the content. 

That wasn't the case last night. I managed to catch one of their English broadcasts at around 16.10 till 16.23 UTC. A commentary -- note the audio-video above  -- on Zionist Israel and the genocide being committed in Gaza was the topic. A segment on Shia Scholars discussing the assassination of Imam Hussein (grandson of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.) in Karbala followed. Afterwards I monitored a Bengali language broadcast.

What made the reception so remarkable was that it was received off the whip antenna (no external aerial) of my Sangean ATS-909.
