Iran quitting SW as of today - Happy New Year From new foroDX iog: ``LV De la República Islámica de Irán deja la OC --- AER, 14 marzo 2021 22:22 22:22, https://aer.org.es/archivos/26437 Según este audio difundido por el Whatsapp de La Voz de la República Islámica de Irán y mandado por Dario Gabrielli, la emisora dejaría la onda corta el próximo día 21 de marzo, pasando a solo emisión por Internet. Debemos recordar que ya hubo un supuesto comunicado por correo electrónico hace unos meses que decía que también dejaría la onda corta, y no fue así.`` And from March 20: ``Hola, Al final del programa de hoy 20/03/2021 de LV de la Rep. Islámica de Irán en español, Pars Today, han anunciado que dejan de emitir en onda corta desde el día 21. Curiosamente, hoy dia 20 de marzo es el último día del año persa. Un saludo -- Pedro Sedano, Madrid, España`` ``Juan Ignacio Gutiérrez Marí 11:34am #18 --- Bueno, otra emisora que desaparece de la Onda Corta. Veremos si aumenta sus oyentes, a través de Internet. Habrá que comprobar la calidad del streaming.`` ``Hola, En teoría continuan en la web de Hispan TV, no en la de Pars Today, es decir, https://www.hispantv.com/ aunque si haces clic en el enlace superior de Radio, no pasa nada. Debes situar el ratón sobre TV en Directo y entonces sale lo de la Radio en Directo; vaya chapuza. la web es https://www.hispantv.com/directo-radio Un saludo, Pedro Sedano, Madrid, España`` ``Juan Ignacio Gutiérrez Marí 11:42am #20 --- Lo lógico es que emitieran desde la web de Pars Today. Si hay que ir a otro sitio y está escondido el acceso, les auguro poco éxito. Un saludo a todos. Asociación Española de Radioescucha`` From Célio Romais, Brasil, March 20: ``El viernes fue la última edición del programa Conversando con Nuestros Oyentes y la despedida de los locutores de Voz de Irán en la onda corta! Este domingo es la última transmisión. Sigue el audio que grabé.`` To the WOR iog: ``Spanish still on the air this Sunday, as scheduled (0723 on 15200 and 17630). Jean-Michel Aubier, France`` I post at 1518 March 21: `Célio Romais heard IRIB in Spanish announce that their last SW broadcast would be today Sunday. Maybe that also applies to English. Check it right now: English has been scheduled only: 7300 at 1520-1620; 6040, 11880 at 1920-2020. Glenn`` ``At 1520 into UTwente, China/Taiwan radio war is raging on 7300. Iran is aimed 105 degrees for this English. New Delhi SDR gets nothing on 7300. Maybe better luck at 1920 when 6040 is 313, 11880 at 198 degrees. Glenn`` Jean-Michel AUBIER, Framce: ``Tehran heard on English at 1545 on 7300 with a feature about spring in Afghanistan mention on parstoday.com`` Wolfgang Bueschel, Germany, at 1732 UT: ``A LOT OF SERVICES ARE STILL on air TODAY MARCH 21 ! 7310 1430-1730 IRN VO ISLAMIC REP.IRAN Ara Zahedan 7310.004 S=9+40dB in Europe 9800 1430-1730 IRN VO ISLAMIC REP.IRAN Ara Sirjan 9800.007 S=9+15dB in Europe 7290 1650-1750 IRN VO ISLAMIC REP.IRAN Rus Sirjan 7290.007 S=9+35dB Russian, sonor lady announcer excellent audio. 6110 1720-1820 IRN VO ISLAMIC REP.IRAN Bos Sirjan 6110.004 S=9+35dB National Anthem hymn heard 17.24 UT around. 5940 1720-1820 IRN VO ISLAMIC REP.IRAN Ger Sirjan 5940.004 S=9+35dB 17.26 UT German annmt. 73 wb`` gh: Here`s the full registered B20 schedule to keep checking: http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbyfmo.php?seas=B20&fmor=IRB By Monday, presumably all will be silent, not yet today Sunday. Roberto Scaglione, Sicily at 1757: ``Italian is on air today....`` That would be 5930. At 1840 into UTwente, still Albanian on 7305, 5925; presumed Hausa on weaker 9475. 6040 last? 1918:10 carrier cut on briefly and off again. English is just starting, cut on air to stay at *1920:45. Good into UTwente. But JIP some program is closing?? Says 1920-2020 on 6040, 11880, FM 91.5, satellites, internet, phone; music not IS. Program feed may have really started an hour earlier due to DST confusion? We`ll see what follows. No, 1929 ``This is IRIB English radio; coming up is the news``. 1930 chimes and news starting with nuclear deal, Yemen vs Saudi Arabia, anti-coronavirus restrixions. Music keeps playing during headlines. Hmm, American accents but a bit of an anti-American slant ---.
