IARU Monitoring System Intruder Watch coordinator Faisal Al-Ajmi, 9K2RR

Radio Kuwait cleared from amateur radio band

Radio Kuwait was broadcasting in the Amateur Radio 7 MHz allocation, however speedy action by the IARU Monitoring System Intruder Watch resolved the problem.

A 'combined action' by
Ulrich Bihlmayer, DJ9KR
led to the removal of Radio Kuwait on 7150 and 7190 kHz. From 12 to 19 April 2010 the broadcaster had been transmitting programs in Arabic language with up to S9+30dB signals blocking almost 20 kHz of the 40m Band.

Many national coordinators had requested their telecoms authorities to send “International Complaints” to the State of Kuwait.

Faisal Al-Ajmi, 9K2RR, IARU Monitoring System Intruder Watch Coordinator in Kuwait rang up Radio Kuwait and asked for a frequency change.
