Re: [IRCA] Mauritania on SW

I guess you guys have not been keeping up with SW news: Mauritania has been on 7245 day and night instead of 4845. 73, Glenn Hauser, OK

When I have a TA signal on 783, the first thing I do is check for a parallel on 4845 for Radio Mauretanie. But I've noticed the SW hasn't been on the air even in the early hours around my own EST sunset. And it used to be easy. Anyone know if the AM and/or SW is/are off the air or if either or both are operating at limited hours?

We were unable to get anything on 4845 in multiple tries during the LBI DXpedition. We heard Spanish, French and Arabic there at times. The Spanish is easy, the others not.

If the schedules on EMWG are current, one of my receptions had to be Algeria as nothing else could be Arabic at that time.
