Allen, listen for the IRIB interval signal at the half hour mark (Top of the 
hour in Iran is at the bottom of our hour).  It's three distinct tones, like 
doorbell chimes, low-high-low.  The two low notes are the same.  I've also 
heard it at 2302z, but usually at the top of the (our) hour the music or 
religious readings don't pause for an ID.  So the lack of an ID or program 
pause is another hint that it might be Iran.   The interval signal really 
cuts through stronger signals well.  1188  and 1332 are separate programs 
from the others.  An ID I have heard on the IRIB stations sounds like "Iran 
Radio Iran", and there is sometimes a stirring martial music piece 
following.  Iran is the new TA "pest" in Cappahayden!
