[HCDX] Unidentified 7260

["Noel R. Green" <nrg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Re the station using 7260. Thanks to comments from Dave Kernick and others,
this does seem to be Mongolia until 1600, when VOA Hindi takes over the
frequency.  It was traced today from before 1430 but only became "usable"
after about 1500.

However, when the VOA dropped carrier after Hindi at 1700, 7260 seemed
clear. But a station appeared at c1801 without opening procedure. A woman
was reading the news - according to several references made - and the
language appeared to be Arabic, but "accented". The news finished at 1715
and a man accompanied by some martial music was heard followed by chanting
or singing at 1725 then by more songs until around 1748 when a discussion
started. Iran blocked the frequency at 1755.

So, my apologies - there are actually two stations, not one!
