Coded messages to Iran! Radio Payam 11815 kHz on XHDATA D-808, Qodosen DX-286, Kenwood R-2000

This is Radio Payam transmitting in Persian on 11815 kHz via the famous Woofferton transmitting station in the United Kingdom. According to current shortwave frequency databases, the station broadcasts daily from 17:00 to 21:00 UTC with 250 kW aimed toward Iran. This station transmits messages from Iranians outside Iran to people inside Iran. The station encourages listeners to use codes in their messages, so as not to put any listeners inside Iran in danger. A listener reported on the World of Radio group that he heard the following on this station: "Radio Payam operates to receive and deliver your messages and the messages of the families of the martyrs of freedom to one another. This is during conditions of maximum suppression, internet shutdown, and the cutting off of telephone and communication channels, while street patrols and checkpoints are expanding. This allows you to safely exchange your messages without security risks or the risk of arrest. Radio Payam only acts as a facilitator, and the responsibility lies with the senders and receivers of the messages. Please keep your messages as short as possible and use code words that are understandable to your audience." 11815 kHz is an extremely busy frequency on the 25-metre band and has long been shared by multiple international broadcasters. Depending on the time of day, listeners can also hear services such as Vatican Radio, NHK World Radio Japan, Radio Taiwan International and China National Radio, all on this frequency. Reception quality was not the best, but strong enough to confirm the station. You can hear Radio Payam on three different radios, namely the Qodosen DX-286, the XHDATA D-808 and the Kenwood R-2000. The D-808 has the clearest capture. Radio Payam joins a growing list of broadcasters currently targeting Iran on shortwave and mediumwave. Some of the better-known services currently active include: BBC World Service Persian Radio Farda VOA in Persian Iran International TV Radio for Peace International This recent increase in Persian-language broadcasting has created one of the busiest and most interesting periods on the shortwave bands in years. For SWLs and DXers, Iran has effectively become one of the main focal points of international broadcasting once again. 00:00 When the internet is down, only SW and MW works 02:18 Radio Payam 11815 kHz on Qodosen DX-286 04:21 On XHDATA D-808 (clearest capture) 05:20 Iranian bubble jammer 06:14 Kenwood R-2000 #shortwave #swl #dxing #radio #internet #shutdown #iran #shortwaveradio #worldradio #woofferton #radiofarda #bbcworldservice #persianradio
