Have I missed something? As far as I've seen - all that "Information Radio" is using is 8700 kHz USB. Only ONCE have I seen Information Radio reported on medium wave - and that was'nt on any of the MW frequencies announced (657 and 1107); it was on 864 kHz on October 28th for ONE of the two daily broadcasts.    

Dont we agree that the BBCM with its monitoring-stations in Pakistan - and Uzbekistan? - would be able to hear any broadcasts on MW from the PsyOps plane flying over Afghanistan.

So would it be wrong to conclude that the US propaganda broadcasts are more or less non-exsistant in Afghanistan, since we all know that 8700 USB can hardly be received by anyone in Afghanistan.
