Afganistan (non)
"Radio Peace" is the name given in WRTH 2004
(p82) for the US psyops broadcasts aimed at Afghanistan -originally
these were called "Information Radio". It looks as though this station
is now being relayed on high-power SW transmitters - possibly via
VT/Merlin (Dave Kenny, BDXC-UK via DXLD)
"Radio Sohl" (Dari for "Radio Peace") at present: 0200-0500 11810RMP,
0700-1200 21620RMP, 1200-1300 17555WOF, 1300-1500 17720WOF, 1500-1630
17710RMP. But most likely replaced by different channels in B-04
season from Oct 31. 73 (Wolfgang Büschel, ibid.)
The spelling in Dari is Radio Solh (not Sohl); in Pashto it would be: Sola
Radyo. If targeted at Afghanistan, it seems likely that the stations
broadcasts/will broadcast also in Pashto: about 35% of the population in
Afghanistan are Pashto speakers, 50% Dari speakers.
