[HCDX] Unidentified

["Noel R. Green" <nrg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For two days I have been hearing a unidentified station using 7260.  On
Oct.5th it was traced c1535 at weak strength playing non-de-script music
with occasional announcements using a language I could not recognise.  It
was covered by VOA via Udorn making a crash start at 1600 with their Hindi
programme.

On Oct.6th there were traces of  "something" on 7260 before 1500, but after
that hour I could again hear music - sounding like 'dreamy' SE Asian pop
music we sometimes find on stations from that area and intro by a woman. A
man and woman were heard talking at 1519 and then the music continued as
before. The signal was again weak and splash came from AIR 7255 [til 1545]
and SWDR 7265.  The VOA again blocked the frequency from 1600 [active until
1700].

I re-tuned 7260 c1728 and found what seemed to be the same station with a
slightly better signal. The language sounded "something like" Arabic at tune
in, then music followed and varied from Indian like to Middle Eastern like.
Iran came on frequency at 1750 and started Russian at 1800.

I don't find anything listed for 7260 at 1500 or 1730. Can anyone identify
this signal?
