Iraq Media Network now on 909 kHz
Thanks to Tarek Zeidan and Dave Kernick, we can now confirm that the station monitored a few days ago by BBC Monitoring on 909 kHz is indeed Iraq Media Network. As previously mentioned, their original frequency of 1170 kHz is now occupied by a 24 hour relay of Radio Farda from the UAE. 909 kHz was the frequency used by the Baghdad transmitter prior to the fall of Saddam. We assume that the transmitter currently being heard is the one in Umm Qasr. There's an updated recording of the ID announcement and slogan on Dave's site at www.intervalsignals.net/.
