Some changes in MW broadcasting of Afghanistan happened after Taliban captured this long-suffering country. I have checked principal medium wave channels of Afghanistan at 16.00-19.00 UTC recent days to estimate current situation with their activity (if you get an error at attempt to play some clip below, please reload the page or click the square with arrow icon to play the clip in a new window):621 kHz - Tani-Khost - 200 kW:
20.08.2021 - VOA Deewa Radio seems to be still active on this frequency. Continuous comments and reports. Now the signal in Kyiv is not strong and very instable, with deep and continuous fade-outs. Usually, as the dark is setting in, heavy splatter from SRR Radio Timișoara on 630 kHz is becoming a challenge, however, the signal can reach a good level at favourable conditions on a proper season (ID is tentative!):
1107 kHz - Kabul/Pol-e Charkhi - 400 kW:
20.08.2021 - Voice of Sharia instead of RTA Radio Afghanistan. The format of broadcasts have changed drastically, it turned to the "medieval style": only speech, listener's phone-ins and Quran recitations before end of transmissions, no music anymore there. Very good and stable reception. The station is usually finishes transmission at ~18.30 UTC without any announcement:
1296 kHz - Kabul/Pol-e Charkhi - 400 kW:
20.08.2021 - VOA Radio Ashna is still on air with news and reports in Pashto. Closing down at ~17.30 UTC. Also strong signal, but not as stable as on 1107 kHz, it is starting to appear here first among the three mentioned stations. Slight interference from co-channel IRIB Sedaye Sistan va Baluchestan from Iran at times. Here is recording from 18th of August 2021:
RX: Degen DE-1103
ANT: Built-in telescopic whip
