Glenn,
??? I sure hope I didn't report something wrongly; I try to be as certain as
possible before reporting. That said, however, it definitely was Arabic.?As a
former monk, I am certain it was not Latin.? I probably should have put
'presumed' because I too pondered the issue.? However, after consulting the
schedules and pondering some more and with no one else to query at that time of
day except the heavens, I just assumed that Iran chaged its broadcast time for
summer,without bothering to notify anyone.? Not something unheard of happening
in the world of shortwave radio.? In checking Eibi, I went there first looking
up the freqquency because I only knew I had someone in Arabic, and there was
7250 with Iran on from 3:30-4:30.?I also considered the possibility that
someone was throwing wrong switches and playing tapes at wrong times in
Tehran.? If I'm wrong then my ears are going as well as my eyes because it was
most certainly Arabic.? This signal, by the way, was far less than t!
he beauty that Vatican Radio puts in here every night.? I didn't get up in
time to check again this morning but at 06:30 Vatican was on as usual with news
in English to Europe.? Maybe it was a one-off anomoly. ?Bruce.

Bruce,
I`m scratching my head over this one. PWBR `2009` on 7250 looks like 0330-0430
to me, and it says W, which means in the B-season, not the current A-season.
I am wondering if some of the numbers in this item are wrong? Assuming they are
not, then I`d be surprised if you were hearing anything but Vatican`s daily
Latin Mass, which is what I hear on 7250 at 0530-0600 just about any night. Not
much like the Qur`an.
Eibi does show 0330-0430 for the Palestine service in Arabic from Iran, but the
current summer frequencies for that are 9610 and 11875, and WRTH A-09 update
agrees.
I don`t understand why you would think something two hours later on a different
frequency, or the winter frequency, is the same program?
I can`t find anything in current online schedules on 7250 during that hour
except Vatican in English, then Latin.
73, Glenn Hauser

** CHINA. Firedrake survey May 24: barely caught a few bars of it on unusual
9390 until 1300*, but back on at 1308, poor; fortunately, no WWRB 9385 on yet.
Against what? Per Aoki, at 12-13 on 9390 is R. Pakistan`s Chinese broadcast, so
chalk up another neighbor to whom the ChiCom demonstrate their hostility. Aoki
does not yet show it as *jammed. Or has that shifted one hour earlier due to
DST in Pakistan? See original A-09 schedule in DXLD 9-039, with // 11510 at
12-13. Apparently it has not shifted, as in WRTH A-09 update still showing
12-13, unlike English at 16 which has shifted an hour earlier to 15.
More Firedrake May 24: at 1302, nothing on 8400, but 9000 was open carrier,
resuming poorly at 1305. At 1308, nothing on 11300. BTW, that`s a very bad spot
due to aeronautical air-ground communications in Africa. Without Firedrake
blockage, one could sit on that frequency and hear planes contacting Khartoum,
Tripoli, etc. At 1321, FD on 13970 // 9000. At 1324 also on 14420, better than
// 13970 but fluttery. At this moment the ``ramshorn`` is being blown. At 1325
also audible on // 15600.
Firedrake May 25: surprised to hear it on another unusual frequency, 7280 at
1249, mixing with something in Chinese and // 9000. Aoki says 7280 bears Sound
of Hope at 11-13, so that explains it: in this case a 300 kW Taiwan
transmitter, so one can axually hear SOH in the mix, unlike their 1 kW
jammer-spoilers elsewhere out-of-band. However, at 1354 on 7280 still hearing a
Firedrake mix with something, SOH prolonged? // 13970. Per Aoki, V. of Strait
is supposedly also on 7280 all along at 12-17 but WRTH does not have it; RFA
Tinian does not start Cantonese on 7280 until 1430 and that is not asteri*ked
as jammed.
Back at 1249, no Firedrake on 8400 or 11300. 9000 made its usual break
1300-1305; nothing there at 1352 recheck. At 1307, FD good on 13970, but even
better on // 14420, which was still going at 1337. At 1404, 13970 open carrier,
resuming FD at 1405. At 1406 still on 14420 but now very poor (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also EAST TURKISTAN
** CUBA [and non]. Not just REE, but also RHC has a pen-pal service for
DentroCubans: Sunday May 24 at 1319 on 12000 giving someone`s P- and e-mail
address, in Amigos de Cuba show. QRM de distorted VOR Chinese, making noise
bursts every few sex on 12000. RHC modulation OK, // 11760, and the VOR mess
stopped at 1400*. Same QRM spurting from Khabarovsk next day May 25 at 1304 and
1350 chex (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EAST TURKESTAN. Not much making it from E Asia on 16m, May 25 at 0505, but
on 17720 there was CRI in German, fair signal going from Nachrichten to ``Sie
fragen, wir antworten`` Q&A show. Via Kashi, central Asia, 308 degrees, 500 kW.
Best signal on band, except for 17880 RFA NMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** JAPAN [and non]. Tnx to improved pre-solstitial conditions from other
worldparts, decent reception of NHKWNRJ is possible without resorting to
Sackville. May 25 at 0523 I ran across English on 11970, which per Eibi is via
FRANCE for Africa; also at 1411 on 11985 direct from Japan for S Asia, clear
unlike // 11705, which was nothing but a weak pre-echo under Sackville (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. If you hear Spanish on 12040, it is not necessarily the second
harmonic of R. Victoria, Per?, as Yimber Gavir?a reported from Colombia at 0053
May 19. At 0518 May 25 on 12040 I was hearing a fundamental REE // 6055, while
6020 was drowned by CRI via Sackville. The Victoria harmonic must axually be on
the low side of 12040, as its fundamental was recently measured by Giampiero
Bernardini, Italy, April 28 at 2330 on 6019.34v, so a harmonic of that would
have been on 12038.68v. To confuse matters further, REE Costa Rica relay is
also on 6020 at 00-04 and conceivably could produce its own harmonic, but those
would be a satellite-delay apart from Noblejas direct frequencies (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. Bandscanning May 25 at 0514, came upon strange language on
13840, good signal. Hmmm, PWBR `2009` shows it could be Palau, or New Zealand.
But the answer came only a minute later with singing ID repeating ``Radio
Dabanga`` three or four times, and talk following was interrupted frequently by
stingers. Apparently the Darfurians are thought to be easily bored by straight
talk, which was certainly not in standard Arabic, or any kind of Arabic I could
recognize. This transmission is 0430-0527, 250 kW, 330 degrees via Madagascar
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WRMI, 9955, UT Monday May 25 at 0526, good reception toward the end
of WORLD OF RADIO 1461, and no jamming audible. I continue to marvel at WRMI NW
antenna reception vs S antenna: May 25 before 1400, no sign of it, just
DentroCuban Jamming Command. After 1400, R. Prague relay loud and clear, over
jamming if any. After 1430 confirmed with that new infomercial instead of
Studio DX for at least three weeks (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN. Bruce Barker in PA was hearing something in Arabic with Qur`an on
7250, May 24 at 0520-0600, while normally it`s Vatican in English and then
Latin Mass, so I was sure to check it May 25: at 0509 definitely Vatican in
English as scheduled. At 0529 outro of VR English, bells IS, 0530 into
multi-lingual introduxion to Mass; a few sex of each marred by static crashes,
so not certain I IDed them all, but tentatively Romanian, German, Slavic,
Hungarian; 0532 into Latin.
The night before it must have been a total misfeed, as nothing is on the
schedules to explain Arabic/Qur`an. Altho it`s Vatican`s nearby Santa Maria di
Galeria site, I wonder if they take a satellite feed rather than landline or
microwave STL? Possibly a mistuning of the satellite receiver could have
brought in some completely different station`s programming, but not noticed at
SMG for at least 40 minutes? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
