Shortwave Propaganda

Sometimes an old post comes to life with new comments and brings back memories. On an old post about an Iranian shortwave propaganda radio station called Voice of Justice, Paul writes:

I heard the Voice of Justice just last night on 6125 between 0100 and 0200 UTC from my location here in Sweden.

It was nothing but a long string of propaganda. What was interesting (and saddening in my opinion) was the great number of interviews held with so many American commentators so eager to lambast their own country on Iranian radio.

American commentators like professor Dwight Simpson of SFSU. I have recorded audio of that interview (in OGG format so you’ll need Winamp).

Another commenter, Marty, has me wanting to fire up the SW receiver again:

For really good ol’ fashion propaganda, try Radio PMR from the self-declared Soviet-style republic of Pridnestrovye, which isn’t recognized by anyone. It is a small strip of land between Moldova and the Ukraine. They broadcast in English (winter 2007 freq.) on 7,370 kHz at 1700 UTC.

Marty has a blog called Shortwave Scatter.

    Pridnestrovye could be Trans-Dinistra in English. There’s a Soviet, sorry Russian, Airbase there so they must recognise it after a fashion.
