Mauno,Your Alberta observation agrees with what I've seen here. This season has been too poor for me to hear actual audio from either, but the Farda carrier has nearly always been stronger, and more consistent. Having said that, the Iranian seems better in relative terms than in previous years, when it was rare to even see a trace of Iran.

Farda is to 0°, but if I got right, as strong Abadan beams to 30° to 'protect' Tehran, so that shouldn't be bad for WCNA and Alaska. Maybe Farda puts more power to skywave angle to reach Tehran, while Abadan doesn't have to do that. Also Farda's audio compression may be stronger and they ID probably ten times more than Abadan.I have only one file from Easter Islands and it hears only Farda weak, but also Iran has its carrier well present.Both 1574.963 and 1575.000 kHz carriers fading in very weak now at 2250 via Alberta remote rx, the former weaker and more intermittent.Mauno 18.12.2016, 20:44, Rocco Cotroneo kirjoitti:Farda is a almost everynight catch in coastal Brazil and the only station I have heard on 1575 in a variety of dx spots in Argentina, Chile, Venezuela and Easter Island in the past two decades.

I don't know Farda's exact pattern, socan't say if that explains how things are in Finland. Regardless of the antenna, it's always a bit risky to extrapolate fromreception elsewhere to Pacific NW reception. It just doesn't work half the time. If you did want to make that jump, I believe worldwide Farda is thewinner.

The Abadan site and UAE are on about the same bearing from Massett (though both have a somewhat more northerly bearing than to Finland), so it does seem strange that they aren't heardin Massett as well, at least sometimes . best wishes, Nick At 11:47 18-12-16, you wrote:It is strange, that Iran would be so rare there as I am about the same direction to the north and here Iran is stronger than Farda. It is not always easy to distinguish them by programming, easier by frequency: Iran is about 40 Hz below nominal. 73, Mauno 18.12.2016, 0:38, Walter Salmaniw kirjoitti:>From Masset, which is not too, too far from Galena, it's alwaysFarda. Idon't think I've heard Iran. It makes sense, since Farda beams duenorth,across the Pole, and right at us on the west coast. Of course, the simplest thing to do is to listen for an ID, which occurs frequently.....73,...WaltOn Sat, Dec 17, 2016 at 7:47 PM, Chris Kadlec <beaglebass@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxwrote:Hi guys,Apologies for the short-sighted comments on 1575. I've never even heardofFarda! Please keep in mind that I've been an FM listener for most of myDXdays and only know of what I can hear from Korea as far as AM goes. Idon'tgo globally aside from that region (and only have a working knowledge of the clear-channels heard in the Midwest and East in the US and Canada).Andbecause the band is ridiculously congested in East Asia, that mainlyconsists of all the stations many of you get for TP (including Paul,aside>from Australia and... this one). Beyond that, these are stations I wouldnever in my wildest dreams think of hearing from Korea.But VOA in Thailand: that's a regular in Korea that I am familiar with.-Chris Kadlec Date: Sat, 17 Dec 2016 06:56:01 +0000From: Chuck Hutton <charlesh3@xxxxxxx> Subject: Re: [IRCA] UNID 1575 As I see it: - Niche Radio carries a dozen or more languages. Why should weassumethey are in a mideastern language at this particular time? - Niche Radio was formerly Rete Italia and as such, was adifficult DXtarget. - The programming matches the modern pop mideastern sound ofFarda..- 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 muchof theNW.All of this is circumstantial, so no I can't prove anything yet. To noteven consider Farda as a candidate is very surprising. And as best I know, no one has mentioned thinking this is VOA.
