Iran observations 1st + 2nd March.
On 1st of March, most of the stations were airing common programmes: The national ones stuck together as well as the province’s outlets did on their own. On the bottom of the hour, the time signal and chimes by Radio Iran were taken over (heard on 774 kHz Markazi). Yesterday (2nd of March), the ID was neutral, giving the time signal for the capital (“Tehranast”), not naming Radio Iran (also heard on 774). It was the same on all local outlets receivable here, without ChB on 756 which obviously relayed Radio Iran (756 was = 558). All others (819, 927, 936, 657, 1026, 1512, 774) carried the “neutral” programming yesterday but with some heavy delay between each other.
Kurdistan (945 kHz plus 2 repeaters and FM) had own programming on both days with chimes and ID in kurdish on the bottom of the hour and “sirens” in the back.
Quran Radio on 900 had coran singings, not taken over Radio Iran last night (when I checked). This seems to be different from the day before.
What is even more interesting: When I was looking for Kermanshah upon 864 kHz around 2321 CET = 2221 UTC, I heard a clandestine broadcast towards Iran, probably from Armania. The style was the same as it can be heard each afternoon on this frequency (unlisted on MWLIST). The afternoon programme is called “Radio Iran Azad” and is identifying with frequency and the song “Ey Iran” and has mostly news and current affair programms with little music. The evening programme could not be identified but might orignate from the same site. It was 100% talk px.
