RSO transmit with a "modest" ower for Middle-East standards, of 100 kW. Tarek Zeidan of Egypt just confirmed to me that both accent and style of he program aired don't belong to Egypt, so Oman is the only Arabic andidate left on this channel. Furthermore, according to many lists, gypt starts at 3:00 UTC while my recording was at 2:31 UTC. nfortunately, Tarek didn't find any ID within this clip. BBC WS on 1413 also showed up along with a few Saudis, notably on 1449 hich is a new log for me. The type of program drew my attention as it sounded different from what 'm used to hear from the Middle-East. One of my farthest so far, with 0700 Km / 6650 miles: http://www.quebecdx.com/oman_1278.mp3 (As the clip progress, it gains n strength) Sylvain Naud ortneuf, QC Perseus + 950ft Beverage @ 55 degrees FJ-1026 with Connelly's LF mods + 100ft longwire _______________________________________________ RCA mailing list [email protected] ttp://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original ontributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its ditors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected] _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
