I can get VOI on 9940, with varieing clarity and stuff usually its best
when there is no interference.It is a interesting little station and if
you tune in at the right time, you can hear the call to pray which is
good.You have readings of the koran and news about iran it is
interesting.If you are lacking decent listening i suggest you listen to
this to hear a very different perspective.

DISCUSS!
So what time are you listening them in UTC hours?

Where are you located? The middle east can be hard to get out here out
he west coast.

15:30 for 1 hour in southern Australia,i think it is good to hear there
*voice* instead of the voice skewed by western media that is the
beauty of SW.

Here is the schedule of VOI copied from my trusty passport to world band

0130-0230 6120,9495,9665,11875 (n america)
1030-1130 15460,15480,15600,17660 (s asia)
1530-1630 7330 9635 9940(audible in AUS) 11650 (s asia & SE asia)
1930-2030 6010 7205 7320 9800 9855 9925 11695 11860 (europe,s africa,europe)

All those programs are the English ones
Thanks for the schedule. I'll give it a try.

I just like listening to short wave broadcasts from a distance, radios,
playing with antennas and the content of course. I learned long ago to
value the direct broadcast over the USA media's take on it. Listening to
a direct broadcast from another country usually resulted in a very
different view being expressed. Never trust just one source.

The US media is controlled by a few large corporations beholden to their
friends in the US govt. News is considered entertainment. Substantive
news is nearly impossible to come by, as the big corporate media is too
busy reporting "human interest stories". Ecuador is in chaos but the US
media doesn't care. The army has dramatically stepped up its bombing of
Iraq but the "investigative reporters" won't touch it. I regularly
listen to the BBC for regular news and Radio Havana for stories that the
US media won't touch with a 39 foot pole.

I agree its getting like that in Australia,i listen to SW for my news
whenever i can.
