Clandestine - Radio Zamaneh observations

UKRAINE [Clandestine to Iran] 6245 Radio Zamaneh. Dec 27 at *1700 - Per a tip from Walt Salmaniw, tried for this station at their 1700 sign- on. Heard the carrier open up at 1657 with a whooping modulated carrier, then into a opening orchestra with singers, noted with the distinctive flute and clarinet horn musical instruments. Into opening announcements by
male speaker, intermixed with comments by a female speaker. Most of the program was a variation of talks by the announcers. Initially the signal quality was quite good, but as would happen by 1710 the signal literally disappeared at times.

Real strange propagation conditions. One minute a clear signal then absolutely nothing. I was able stay with some of the programming till 1725 hr. Checked today and not a peep on from them. Thanks again to Walt Salmaniw for pointing this out.
