Default jammers in the 49 metre band?

Since everybody has just been speculating, I took the time to actually
look in Passport. Apparently the BBC has a broadcast out of Oman to "W
Asia" in a language that Passport classifies as "other" that is jammed.
This is on 6090 from 1600 to 2000 UTC. I'm not sure who in West Asia
would be jamming a BBC tx, or who this tx is aimed at. Iran, possibly?
One of the former Soviet republics in that part of the world? Nepal?
Passport breaks out Russian as a separate language, and it's not
Russian.


Your first guess was right. It's Farsi, according to ILG; so the
transmission would be intended for Iranian audiences.
