Next in the log on Saturday 6th November 2021 was Radio Azadi, broadcasting in the Pashto language to Afghanistan on 15640 kHz.
I tuned in at 1151 UTC.
I have listened to Radio Azadi previously, but this was a new frequency for me. On this frequency, Radio Azadi was using a 250kW transmitter in Kuwait.
Radio Azadi’s broadcasts are targeted towards Afghanistan. Radio Azadi, formerly known as Radio Free Afghanistan, is the Afghan branch of the U.S. government’s Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty’s external broadcast services.
Below is a short video I found on YouTube re Radio Azadi.
I was receiving Radio Azadi quite well. The signal strength was good and there was no interference from signals on or around the frequency. Fading of the signal was only slight.
