[HCDX] Radio Amani, Armavir 15615 kHz

["Jouko Huuskonen" <jouko.huuskonen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to Top DX News, I tried R AMANI "Afghanistan Peace" on 15615 kHz and heard it with sign on at 1631 UTC with very good reception. Close down exactly 1730 UTC. Signal strength was  even S9 +15 dB and transmitter site is Armavir, Russia.  What is this station? Who knows more about it´s background? Is it one of the UN operations? However, enjoyable reception here in Turku.

ARMAVIR  is an industrial city and transportation centre in the northern foothills of the Caucasus, south-central Russia, situated on the 
Kuban River, 160 km (100 miles) east of KRASNODAR; : pop.(1990) 162,000. It lies in a rich agricultaral area near the Maykop oil fields. It has machine and tools plants. Thanks to the Oxford Dictionary of the World.
