Voice of Justice -Iran?
I tuned in to the VOJ a few nights ago. Even though they said that
they were broadcasting from Tehran, I felt that the announcers had accents which sounded Chinese, with the difficulty pronouncing "l" and "r" sounds. The signal was every bit as strong as from CRI, too. Being that there are quite a few nations which are opposed to the US, and broadcast shortwave programming accordingly, I can believe that China would take shots at us in the name of the Iranians (even without any kind of agreement to do so) just to add more rhetoric against the United States in earshot of its people. Yeah, I know that it sounds weird, but I've heard a lot of weird stuff on shortwave over the years. |
My reception of VOJ is pretty good here on the East Coast, but I'd
never compare it to CRI. My guess is that VOJ is broadcast from Tehran, using quite a bit of power. Steve running dogg wrote: wrote: I tuned in to the VOJ a few nights ago.

It's also possible that they're broadcast from a Chinese tx. Traditional Iranian SW has trouble reaching the US because of the time difference-it's the middle of the day here when it's the middle of the night there, or vice versa, so the signal tends to get absorbed by the D layer. I've only heard Iran once here in California, and that was in Farsi, and it was mixing with a CNR outlet, AND in the middle of the night my time. (The Middle East tends to come in well for a couple hours in the evenings, which is their local sunrise, but other than that I don't hear a peep.) So it's concievable that the Iranians have brokered a deal to use Chinese transmitters and Chinese technical help in order to reach the US. BTW, what is the freq/time of VOJ? It's been posted here before but I lost all my freq lists when I moved. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
I don't remember what frequency I was tuned to, but a previous poster
here had it as 9495 kHz. |

Time and frequency for VOJ ??? Thanx in advance !!!! Michael It's coming on right now. I just heard the first few notes of their theme music. Not a bad signal either. Conditions must be improving. Steve I tried them at 0245 and didn't hear them. If they were being broadcast via China, as has been suggested, they would be audible on the west coast, so they're likely being broadcast from a site in Iran. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
