With conditions like this, all that's left is to go over old recordings.
The morning of 24 December was pretty interesting 
in that Iran on 1098 was heard here.  Going over 
the SDR recordings, there are ever so faint 
traces of the R. Iran chimes also on 585 and 720 at 1530UT on 24 December.
Definitely targets for the next opening...
