Radio Sweden has today published the following statement on its website:
Radio Sweden’s broadcasts on our European channel of 6065 kHz are once again suffering interference from Iran.
In violation of international custom, Radio Tehran [IRIB] has begun using the frequency we have used to more than 60 years. The interference occurs during the evening, and primarily affects listeners in southern Europe, but parts of central Europe are also affected at times.
Since the lower shortwave bands are currently very crowded there are no free frequencies where can broadcast our English programs in parallel with 6065 kHz. Instead, listeners should try our medium wave channel of 1179 kHz, where we broadcast in English at 18:0 and 22:30 hrs daily and at 20:00 hrs UTC daily except Sundays.
