Great to see the following log of Radio Pakistan being heard. For many months, it has been speculated the station had either left shortwave, or was operating sporadically
For the first time since many months, I heard Radio Pakistan from Islamabad again this morning. The signal was weak and tiny and also heavy NOISY quality, like Taiwanese Sound of Hope audio level on 13680.186, 15070.203 or 15339.853 kHz at same time slot.
15700 kHz, 0500-0700 UTC, Radio Pakistan, Islamabad in Urdu language, to Middle East, Iran, Turkey and north/west Africa. Signal noted in Eastern Thailand at 0500 UTC until suddenly OFF the air at 0548 UTC on July 17. Noisy S=5-6 signal, Pakistani music and typical drums singer.
Listen to the noisy tiny signal, taken at Uwe's remote SDR installation place. Access via the box recording file via URL
