Broadcaster in ham radio 40m band

DARC describes how a case of interference in the Primary amateur radio 40m band, by an AM broadcast station in Tashkent, was speedily dealt with

A translation of the DARC post reads:
There was an AM broadcast on 7160 kHz on October 22nd between 18:00 and 18:15 UTC. Due to the transmission power of the radio station and the breadth of the commercial A3E signal, there was considerable impairment of radio traffic in the 7155 to 7165 kHz range in large parts of Europe and the Middle East.
The frequency range 7000 to 7200 kHz is exclusively assigned to the amateur radio service in accordance with the Ordinance on the Amateur Radio Act (Amateurfunkverordnung – AFuV) Annex 1 (to Section 1 No. 6).

Germany’s Band Watch contacted the company responsible, Media Broadcast, to investigate the cause. Media Broadcast said the mistake was made by a contracted relay station in Tashkent. The exact cause is still being investigated. The provider there had actually been commissioned by Media Broadcast to broadcast on 6040 kHz in the 49 m radio band. We were assured that this was a one-off incident and apologized for the inconvenience.
