RE: [HCDX]: unid on 9495

[Dave Kenny <dave_kenny@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is Voice of Iraqi Kurdistan - it does indeed broadcast from Salah
al-Din in northern Iraq (Iraqi Kurdistan). It is operated by the Kurdistan
Democratic Party lead by Masud Barzani and has broadcast regularly since
1963. I would guess that transmitter power on 9495 is probably around 10 kW.
Many of the Iraqi Kurdish stations that we hear on SW also run local FM, MW
and television services in the Kurdish autonomous region and are not really
"clandestine" operations these days.

Today heard it at 1640 and further on, with an ID "Huna
Sawt-il-Kurdistani-Erak", i.e. must be the Voice of Iraqi Kurdistan.
Barzani, one of the Kurdish liberation movement leaders, was often
mentioned.

 ILGRadio database gives 0.5 kW in Salah-al-Din, Iraq, but it's obviously
nonsense. I presume, the program is relayed via facilities in Turkey or
Iran. Any reliable info on this matter, guys?

73,
Dmitri
