Has anyone had luck receiving an English broadcast from Israel?

They can be heard here most every time I try.

Check the 2000 broadcast on 7545.

I can currently hear their Russian transmission on 7520 at 2120.

Thanks for confirming your reception. I tried both 7545 and 6280 at
2000 UTC and unfortuantely didn't hear even the faintest murmur. I'm
curious if anyone on the U.S. west coast is receiving it. I'll email
their engineering director.

Sorry I missed the transmission window. I'll give it a try if I remember
to listen at the right time.

Tuned in today and did not hear a thing on any of the above frequencies
just after 20:00 UTC. Maybe someone else up the coast can pick it up.
Conditions were OK today so maybe it just does not propagate here well
or my antennas just happen to be weak on those frequencies.

I'll have to give other broadcast times a try. I have picked up Israel
in the past and I believe it was during the day time.

I too have tried in the last few days without success and am also on
the left coast. Probably a propagation issue - have had problems with
other Mid-East broadcasters as well.

I heard other middle eastern broadcasts such as Kuwait today so
propagation seems to be OK from the middle east to here. Maybe the
Israel time and frequencies are a poor choice for the west coast.

There are other west coast people that read the news group so if they
respond we will see how they are doing with Israel these days.
