VATICAN [non?]. 15635, Feb 4 at 1456, here`s something new: speaker
in Arabic just as loud as the voice-over flying translation to
English, maybe live? Defends the Muslim world. Mentions ``holy
father`` and ``my brother the pope``, S9-S5, continues past 1500; 1504
announcer says ``you are listening to Grand Imam ----`` something, and
more. But off at 1510 recheck. Smax of an ad-hoc Vatican Radio
broadcast, but why?
Because pope is visiting UAE, so maybe a live event. Later I see this:
``Vatican Media is going to have two special broadcasts on occasion of
the Papal trip to UAE, namely:
Monday 4th February 2019, UT 1400-1515
15635 kHz, English, to the Gulf / Horn of Africa
11835 kHz, Arabic, to Middle East
Tuesday 5th February 2019, UT 0550-0800
15645 kHz, English, to the Gulf / Horn of Africa
11810 kHz, Arabic, to Middle East``

Guess what: the only 15635 entry in the latest HFCC of Feb 1 is a
``reservation`` by Lviv, Ukraine at 06-08 UT! That`ll be the day.
So is this direct from SMG with typical huge backlobe, if aimed toward
the ME; or is it some other relay such as MADAGASCAR, which could also
provide such a good signal here, unlike much else from E Hemisphere on
19m now?
I suspect the latter, since known SMG site on nearby 15550, the Sudan
Service of FPU, even tho 250 kW at 150 degrees, is much weaker
