Initially Gunaz TV broadcast also via Turksat but has been removed there
soon:
At present they are in these typical "unjammable Iran muxes" (also used by
BBC Persian or VOA PNN) on Telstar 12 and Eutelsat W3A plus a SCPC signal
on the Israelian Amos 3, as if no satellite operator wants to put Gunaz TV
in a mux with other customers for fear of Iranian jamming. Thus I would
not be surprised if the announced shortwave transmission will be jammed.
So far no separate radio channel from Gunaz TV is shown in the usual
frequency lists, so it's possible that simply the TV audio will be
transmit on shortwave, unless the radio feed simply does not show up in
the lists yet or will be put on during the remaining days until launch.
Site: Usual suspects for TDP are of course Grigoriopol, Lutch and Samara.
Another facility in the CIS would be possible as well. Is the Babcock
booking real or just a wooden registration? It's possible that it has been
arranged directly with the transmitter operator in Armenia, with "Moscow"
not being involved, so such a clash would not be unthinkable.

A mi juicio, su primer idioma sera el azeri, pero unas ciertas emisiones
en
farsi son tambien posibles.
"GünAz" corresponde a Güney Azerbaycan, el territorio ubicado en el parte
noroeste de Iran. El azeri es la lengua materna de la gente que vive alli.
73 & felices fiestas!

The carrier was on 7510 kHz at least 10 mins before 1430 UT. Program
started around 1430 UT, strong signal. Seems to be their TV audio, but
about 15 seconds ahead of the net stream, which also shows "Gunaz Radio
7510 kHz SW Band 41 Metr" on the bottom of the screen.
(Jari Savolainen-FIN, dxld Dec 29)
A new target SW station Gunaz Radio started today and is currently audible
here with fair reception on 7510 kHz. According to Ludo Maes of
Transmitter Documentation Project, which is brokering this SW
transmission, it is on the air daily at 1430-1930 UT.
Gunaz Radio is an offshoot of Gunaz TV, based in Chicago, USA. This TV
channel seems to be political, presumably opposition, targeting the Azerispeaking
population of the Iranian province of Southern Azerbaijan (Gueney
Azerbaycan in Azeri) as well as Azerbaijan itself.
The gunaz.tv domain is registered to:
Guney Azerbaycan Television Inc,
