Yes, once I heard a broadcast in Urdu on e frequency 9885 kHz, also once for 
several months there was a program in Urdu at a frequency of 15120 kHz instead 
of broadcasting in Bengali. Low modulation was also often at 9695 kHz during 
broadcasts to Pashto, with bad sound quality also in broadcasting over the 
Internet .

Sorry dear Ivan Zelenyi,

I couldn't identify any of these central and southern Asia languages,
due of very LOW MODULATION out of Riyadh center,
but tremendous powerful TX signal noted
into Doha Qatar Perseus SDR unit.

Hello!
in 2020, I monitored the 9885 kHz frequency to hear Saudi radio programs in 
Uzbek, Tajik and Turkmen. And when I didn't hear the tajik-language program, 
I found a Saudi radio broadcasting service for East Turkestan on Twitter. 
All the news in that account was written only in Uyghur. There was no 
mention of broadcasting in Turkmen and Uzbek..
Also in past years, popular  frequency databases indicated that the 9885 kHz 
frequency was broadcasting in Tajik, but I never heard this program because 
Tajik is similar to Farsi, and the program was in one of the Turkic 
Language.

your display can`t handle Cyrillic, Vostochnaya Zvezda = Eastern Star,
presumably nothing to do with an American women`s Christian group, but
no ID heard by me.

First reported by Ron Howard on March 27: ``UNID. 7325-USB, 0956-0957
UT. I often check this frequency in the hope that Wantok Radio Light
(PNG) will reactivate, but I never heard anything before 0957, so I

what? My audio -

Lucas Bandura, BC, replied at 2130: ``Ron, I reposted your 7325 USB
log on the HFU in case anyone there would know anything about it or
stay up late enough to check. Big Badfish Al wrote: “Vostochnaya
Zvezda most likely since they are no longer on 4015 USB and had the
same playlist.”``

Lucas at 2135: ``I am listening on the KFS SE KiwiSDR now, good S3.
Much better frequency than 4015! Listeners outside of the US Southwest
might have a chance at hearing it now, we will see when night comes.
On 4015 it could not be heard at any SDR sites during the day.``

Walt Salmaniw, BC, replied: ``Hopefully a much better choice as 4015
barely made it to Masset. I’d like to see a daytime frequency as
well!73, Walt`` 

Lucas replied at 2148 March 27: ``Token in California on the HFU
reported hearing YHWH on 11560 AM three times during his first week of
being active in 2023 but I have been checking that frequency daily and
heard only legal stations. I will ask Token sometime if he has heard
him there since. A daytime frequency would be great for VZ. I am
guessing he is much like the Northeast pirates; they use NVIS antennas
and don’t really care if they make it outside their region since that
is outside their target area.``

Ron Howard at 2309 UT March 27: ``Thanks very much to Amano for his
input regarding my 7325-USB (Vostochnaya Zvezda [Eastern Star]) 
reception, after he listened to my audio. Ron:

"00:00-01:25[on my audio clip], this song is Russian popular music.
«Магнитная Aномалия» Алло Стелла.
“Magnetic Anomaly“ by Allo Stella.
YouTube - https://youtu.be/6eK2C_Hvd2Q .
Amano, Saitama, Japan"``

Walt: ``Yes, exactly the same. The childish voice at 04:14 is the same
as heard on 4015, and also the clips that Lucas provided earlier. I
can't make out what the child says at all. Shazam also isn't able to
ID any of the music played in the last 10 minutes or so.``

At 0437 March 28, from Lucas Bandura, BC: ``Very, very weak here at
0330 UT. As Walt said the same child voice in a non-English language
is heard and the music format is the same. No identifications over
about an hour of listening. The audio is still restricted to 2.5 kHz
but the bad splatter can be seen

ps. probably refurbishing work at Riyadh broadcast center at present,
though their 9 x highpower transmitter are mostly not elder than a decade
...

These UAE, Oman and Saudi Arabia states are also developing
architecturally rapidly and with enormous amounts of money,
see Qatar Football World Cup grandiose urban development -
- so - do the Saudi's perhaps need the Riyadh TX site
for other government or urban building development soon ?

What is actually the current use of the shortwave transmitters in Saudi
Arabia? Are the Riyadh facilities, meanwhile encircled by construction
sites, still in operation at all? Tonight nothing can be confirmed on 9555,
9650, 7425, 11820, 11915. Probably active are 9675 and 11930, and pretty
likely the two specials on 11745 and 11860. Definitely Riyadh Radio on 1521.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhpuSD1xnvM pretty much looks as if the new
radio program has been set up at Dubai as well. Just the Al Arabiya boss
appears to be in Riyadh or to move back and forth between both locations...
