Has anybody heard VOIRI's slant on the earthquake that leveled entire
cities in southern Iran? I haven't been able to get them in on 6120 at
all, and I thought I heard them on 9580 last night but I couldn't get
anything intelligible. (At least those are the freqs Passport lists for
the 0030 tx to NAm.)

I can't get them on shortwave, and when I try listening to
their english internet transmission via streaming audio
all I get is silence.

I think they're off the air...

Don't know if their webpage is up or not.

It turns out that what I heard on 9580 was a BBC tx to Asia. I suspect
that getting parts for those old Soviet made transmitters is kinda
difficult nowadays, although Voice of Russia seems to manage ok.
