OMAN. UNIDENTIFIED. Hi Glenn! Just minutes ago, around 0318 UT, I tuned into a weak station on 13600, peaking at fair levels for brief moments, playing light pop music by Alanis Morisette, then a man talking in English (including a clear mention to "one million"), and then very nice and catchy tunes, including "Sugar Sugar" by The Archies and "Red, Red Wine" by UB40. However, the online schedules I found list CRI in Tamil at 0300-0357, and I'm sure this wasn't a Tamil broadcast! Do you have, by any chance, any idea of what this station might be? Greetings (Eduardo Peralta, Argentina, 0335 UT Nov 17, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Eduardo, No, I have no idea (and would have replied sooner if I had). Except possibly a pirate. Any further news on this one? (Glenn to Eduardo, Nov 19, via DXLD) Yes, Glenn. I listened to it today [UT Nov 19] at 0300 UT. No interval signal, it just begins over CRI. I heard references to Muscat, National Day, His Majesty, etc. It seems the show they play at that time is The Breakfast Show with Darren Shortt, but when I mentioned my hearing to the host on Twitter, he had no idea his show was on SW! The question is, who might be relaying it? Then Darren Shortt himself told me I actually listened to Oman FM 90.4, a state station. I'm still surprised they started using this frequency. Sorry for all the hassle! (Eduardo Peralta, Argentina, UT Nov 20, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Well, R. Sultanate of Oman had an English hour at 03-04 on 15355, so apparently on this new frequency; still too high for most of us, but give it a try (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
