KUWAIT 15110 Radio Kuwait in English on 15110 seems three hours on air in our mornings at 0500-0800 UT. R Kuwait noted today Febr 27th, took over of FM 99.7 MHz local radio station. Weak signal at 0515 UT, but gets increasingly stronger S=6 at 0535 UT, and at 0555 UT similar strong as adjacent Samara-RUS in Tatar on 15105 kHz approx. S=8-9 signal. Before Kuwait got stronger I used small 2.6 kHz filter or used even Eton E1 SYNC function in USB mode. Kuwait's transmission is aimed in direction of 100degr towards Indian subcontinent, and remaining backward side lobe into Europe [315degr] is not as strong as the Kuwait 15495 kHz Arabic channel.
At 0540 UT noted on fair level, English political commentary. S=8 at 0546 UT, shortly after nice lively melodic pop music singer till 0600 UT.
