As the crisis in Syria deepens and attacks by western military forces are imminent we turn our attention to monitoring domestic broadcast services from and to the country.
Radio Damascus has been off of shortwave several years now but during a crisis you never know, they or their old transmitters or frequency assignment may pop up at anytime. Radio Damascus last transmitted on shortwave on 9330 kHz / 31 meter band and 12085 kHz / 25 meter band.
Radio Damascus is still on medium wave at 783 kHz for those in the region with AM monitor capability.
You can also monitor Radio Damascus broadcast podcast at http://www.radio-damascus.net/. The daily program is posted one day after the live transmission so you can always download on the above mentioned page the program of the former day.
If you have C/Ku-band satellite reception capability you can monitor Radio Damascus via this method.
