The wonderful world of listening to the radio
I’ve always two receivers covering the 8 and 12 MHz DSC channels. And sometimes you catch something new… last night Bandar-e-Anzali radio from Iran was received on 12 MHz (12577 kHz).
Funny detail: Anzali is a port on the Caspian Sea, but the message was to acknowledge a DSC test from CHEMROAD QUEEN, a Panamese flagged tanker anchored near the port of Al Jubail in the Persian Gulf. There is no waterway to connect the two.
My previous post was about the reception of Bandar Abbas (e Shahid Rajaei) Radio from Iran which was a new DSC station for me. I didn’t expect an answer on my reception report, but within a day I had a kind reply from the Duty Officer.
It’s not often that I receive a new DSC station outside Europe, but last week I received Bandar – e Shahid Rajaei on 12 MHz. They acknowledged a DSC test from containership MSC Eyra under the flag of Panama.
I always thought this station in Iran was named “Bandar Abbas” radio, and that’s where I sent my reception report to: abbasradio@pmo.ir . Not that I have high hopes on receiving a reply… The new name Shahid Rajaei refers to one of two ports in Bandar Abbas, and that explains the name!
