American broadcasts in tropical band
Various American transmissions for Afghanistan has been heard on new frequencies in the tropical bands.
On 4760 kHz, at 0100-0200, Jose Jacob, India, heard a Dari or Pushto transmission believed to be from Voice of America.
On 5005 kHz several DXers around the world have heard the Voice of America ID and jingle.
Andy Sennitt, the Netherlands, has this explanation:
4760 kHz is supposed to be Radio Liberty in Tajik, not VOA. Transmitter is Dushanbe. 
The same site is used for 5005 at 1500-1700, also listed as R Liberty in Kazakh and Kyrgyz. 
There's also 5035 from Dushanbe at 0200-0300 listed as Radio Liberty in Kyrgyz.
More info on the current IBB schedule, updated 23 Dec. 2001, is available on the Web.
