I received UK and Germany transmitted Radio Farda shortwave signal in Balakong, Selangor, Malaysia.

 

On yesterday 15th September 2022 between 2300-2330 hours (UTC+8), I managed to receive Persian language external radio station, Radio Farda which are transmitted from Europe continent in Malaysia by following shortwave frequencies below:

 

1. SW 12005kHz from Woofferton, United Kingdom (300kW)

2. SW 15690kHz from Biblis, Germany (100kW)

3. SW 17830kHz from Lampertheim, Germany (100kW)

 

Receiving location is in Balakong, Selangor, Malaysia.

 

Among 3 frequencies, all of them are having same signal quality, but Radio Farda SW 17830kHz and SW 15690kHz are slightly louder.

 

In terms of distance, Radio Farda on SW 12005kHz from Woofferton, United Kingdom is the furthest with the distance as much as 10723km after the BBC World Service from Ascension Island which is 12928km and Radio Exterior De Espana. 

 

It is my another shortwave radio signal catch from Europe after Romania, Moldova (Radyo Denge Welat), France (Radyo Denge Welat) and Germany (DW). 

 

Radio Farda is usually targeting Persian speaking countries, notably Iran and some countries from Central Asia.
