Re: [IRCA] UNID 1575

As I see it:

  - Niche Radio carries a dozen or more languages. Why should we assume they are in a mideastern language at this particular time?

   - Niche Radio was formerly Rete Italia and as such, was a difficult DX target.

    - The programming matches the modern pop mideastern sound of Farda.

    - I won't claim to be a great Farsi linguist, but I am going with Farsi on this one. I can have a native Farsi speaker give an opinion.

  - Farda gets out very well and has been a morning visitor in much of the NW.


All of this is circumstantial, so no I can't prove anything yet. To not even consider Farda as a candidate is very surprising.


And as best I know, no one has mentioned thinking this is VOA.

My first guess on this one would certainly be the Sydney affiliate of Radio
Niche. I'd tell you to send them an e-mail but their website just times out
time and time again. It should be at info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx They certainly
have this programming though... and I'd find it hard to believe it's not
them.

Second, but unlikely, would be Radio Iran, though I don't know the specific
language in the song. They're 800kw though, so they've got the power to get
their signal your way for sure.

Anyone who even assumes that would be VOA clearly is language tone-deaf
haha. It's easy to see this is a Middle Eastern region language and not a
southeast Asian one.
