When I have a TA signal on 783, the first thing I do is check for a parallel on 4845 for Radio Mauretanie. But I've noticed the SW hasn't been on the air even in the early hours around my own EST sunset. And it used to be easy. Anyone know if the AM and/or SW is/are off the air or if either or

We were unable to get anything on 4845 in multiple tries during the LBI DXpedition. We heard Spanish, French and Arabic there at times. The Spanish is easy, the others not. If the schedules on EMWG are current, one of my receptions had to be Algeria as nothing else could be Arabic at that

Thanks, Russ,  This one ought to be an easy catch for people all over the region.  They were weaker before 1715, but still here, then sank to nothing at 1715, so I suppose they are using their night allocation and not signing off.  It sure is an upgrade.  They were the weakest of the
