All,

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I missed the 1430 UTC ID or sign on, but with rx conditions a little clearer today, I have used synchronous AM as well as USB on this signal on 13750.

The language is definitely *NOT* Arabic, so please disregard my logging of Oman on this frequency yesterday. Unless someone comes up with any evidence to the contrary, I am going to call this Vo Iran in Hindi.

Glenn,

I have just sent you a copy of the .csv file from EiBi from 15 January 2012 listing Oman in the 1400-1730 time slot. Could not send it to the group, so that was ex parte.

I am OK with calling this Iran, but I will make sure tomorrow, if just for my own peace of mind. I am beginning to believe all published lists and schedules are imaginary!

Al,

I am looking at EiBi as of Jan 15 (as I was before) and I don`t see any Oman on 13750:

AFAIK, *all* VIRI broadcasts in all languages begin with a few minutes of Qur`an (i.e. in Arabic).

Also see WRTH 2012 for the very limited B-11 schedule of Oman with only 15140 on air from 14 to 15 (in English),

compared to the HFCC registrations,

almost all of which are imaginary!

Hi Glenn,

EiBi has Oman here 1400-1730 UTC in their 15 January
update.   I'm also
wondering if Iran would have had the Arabic Koranic chanting
on a Hindi
program? Haven't listened to Iran in ages, so I do not know
for sure.

Is there anyone else has heard this?  Guess I did get
lucky with Cuba. Was surprised that they were not there. I will give it
another shot
tomorrow before I make a final call on it, unless someone
else has some
input one way or the other.

Let us move this one onto the "tentative" pile until I can
have a crack
at it again tomorrow.  I didn't come across the signal
until 1433, so
the sign-on would be a definite giveaway!  You're more
than likely right
and it is a wooden entry, but now I've got to make sure.

Al,

Are you sure about Oman? I haven`t seen this reported
before. Not in EiBi or Aoki, but in HFCC, likely one of
several wooden registrations from them. But Iran in Hindi is
on 13750 at 1430-1530, and at that hour would have been
starting the transmission in Arabic (Qur`an).
Since this was Sunday, lucky that Cuba was not on 13750
until later for Alo, Presidente.

OMAN  Radio Sultanate of Oman 13750, caught at
1433
with Arabic to eastern Africa.  Koranic
chanting into
long-winded discussion program between two
men.  Fair
signals, considering the broadcast is supposed to
be beamed
to eastern Africa.
